CreatePrim
Creates an implicit primitive and converts it to a given
geometry type. Contrary to implicit primitives, converted
primitives have explicit geometry elements that can be manipulated,
ex.: control points, edges, polygons...
Note: The implicit primitives must be compatible with the geometry
types. For more information, see the $cdname
X3DObject.AddGeometry@cdname method.
oReturn = CreatePrim( PresetObj, GeometryType, [Name], [Parent] ); |
Returns the primitive object (usually an X3DObject object).
