AddPolyfaceMesh method
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2003 8:51 am
How can I use the AddPolyFaceMesh method to draw a mesh surface?
There are two errors in the Help for PolyFaceMesh, Both the Method and Example are wrong.
Try:
Private Sub AddPolyfaceMeshExample()
' This example creates and adds a polyface mesh to the drawing.
Dim faceObj As IntelliCAD.PolyfaceMesh
Dim icadDoc As IntelliCAD.Document
Dim Pt1 As IntelliCAD.Point
Dim Pt2 As IntelliCAD.Point
Dim Pt3 As IntelliCAD.Point
Dim Pt4 As IntelliCAD.Point
Dim myPoints As Points
Dim myObj As Object
Set icadDoc = ActiveDocument
' Define the four coordinates of the face
Set myPoints = Library.CreatePoints
Set Pt1 = Library.CreatePoint(0, 0, 0)
myPoints.Add
myPoints(myPoints.Count).x = Pt1.x
myPoints(myPoints.Count).y = Pt1.y
myPoints(myPoints.Count).z = Pt1.z
Set Pt2 = Library.CreatePoint(0, 2, 0)
myPoints.Add
myPoints(myPoints.Count).x = Pt2.x
myPoints(myPoints.Count).y = Pt2.y
myPoints(myPoints.Count).z = Pt2.z
Set Pt3 = Library.CreatePoint(2, 2, 0)
myPoints.Add
myPoints(myPoints.Count).x = Pt3.x
myPoints(myPoints.Count).y = Pt3.y
myPoints(myPoints.Count).z = Pt3.z
Set Pt4 = Library.CreatePoint(2, 0, 0)
myPoints.Add
myPoints(myPoints.Count).x = Pt4.x
myPoints(myPoints.Count).y = Pt4.y
myPoints(myPoints.Count).z = Pt4.z
Dim LOFIndices(0 To 4) As Long
LOFIndices(0) = 1
LOFIndices(1) = 2
LOFIndices(2) = 3
LOFIndices(3) = 4
' Add the 3DFace object
Set faceObj = icadDoc.ModelSpace.AddPolyfaceMesh(myPoints, LOFIndices)
' DEFINE ADDITIONAL FACE INFO HERE
faceObj.Update
ThisDocument.ActiveViewport.ZoomExtents
End Sub
This just draws a rectangle and I'm sure this will get you started.
