A Segment is a generic concept used to describe a PolygonMesh object's Edge. Having a generic term for this concept allows the user to write code to traverse an objects geometry in a generic fashion without resorting to special case handling based on a specific geometry type.

Tip: To work with the Edge, you can use the Segment.SubComponent property which returns a SubComponent object. The SubComponent allows you to access the EdgeCollection via the SubComponent.ComponentCollection property.

VBScript Example

set oRoot = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root
set oObj = oRoot.AddGeometry( "Cube", "MeshSurface" )
set oGeometry = oObj.ActivePrimitive.Geometry
set oSegment = oGeometry.Segments(0)
