polyCreateFacet([constructionHistory=boolean], [hole=boolean], [name=string], [point=[float, float, float]], [subdivision=int], [texture=int])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
polyCreateFacet is undoable, queryable, and editable.
Create a new polygonal object with the specified face, which will be closed.
List of arguments must have at least 3 points.
constructionHistory, hole, name, point, subdivision, texture

Properties |
point(p)
|
[float, float, float]
|
 
|
|
Adds a new point to the face.
Coordinates of points are given in world reference.
The point flag may also be passed with no arguments. That indicates that the
following points will specify a hole. Passing the point flag with no
arguments is the same as using the "hole" flag, except that it will work
in Python.
|
|
texture(tx)
|
int
|
 
|
|
Specifies how the face is mapped.
0 - None; 1 - Normalize; 2 - Unitize
C: Default is 0 (no mapping).
Q: When queried, this flag returns an int
In query mode, this flag needs a value.
|
|
subdivision(s)
|
int
|
|
|
This flag specifies the level of subdivision.
Subdivides edges into the given number of edges.
C: Default is 1 (no subdivision).
Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.
In query mode, this flag needs a value.
|
|
hole(hl)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Add a hole. The following points will define a hole.
Holes can be defined either clockwise or counterclockwise.
Note that this flag is not recommended for use in Python. When specifying facets
with the point flag in Python, pass in an empty point "()" when you want to
start specifying a hole.
|
|
name(n)
|
string
|
|
|
Name the resulting object.
|
|
constructionHistory(ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable).
Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.
In query mode, this flag needs a value.
