SclTriangulateSegments
Overview
Generate a mesh of contiguous, non-overlapping, non-intersecting (in 3D space) triangles between two segments and assign the resultant triangles to a specified trisolation.
Synopsis
$Segment1Handle1 SclTriangulateSegments $Segment2Handle $ObjectId $TrisolationId
Description
Generate a mesh of triangles between 2 segments. The segments may be open or closed and have any geometric relationship to each other. The more widely variant the segment geometries the more peculiar the results are likely to be.
Arguments
- Segment1Handle
- Segment2Handle
- ObjectId
- TrisolationId
Pass by value. The handle to the first segment for the generation of the triangle mesh.
Pass by value. The handle to the second segment for the generation of the triangle mesh.
Pass by value. The ID number of the object that is to be created. It is permissible to use an object number that already exists.
Pass by value. The ID number of the trisolation that is to be created. It is permissible to use a trisolation number that already exists.
Returns
SCL_OK is the triangulation was successful. Throws a TCL error if the triangulation fails.
