Constructors

Name

Description

Public Method

MeshingParameters.

Initializes a new instance with default values.

Initial values are same as

Default

Public Method

MeshingParameters(Double)

Initializes a new instance with simple values, similar to that of Rhino’s meshing slider interface.

Public Method

MeshingParameters(MeshingParameters)

Initializes a new instance copying values from source.

Initial values are same as

Default

Public Method

MeshingParameters(Double, Double)

Initializes a new instance with simple values, similar to that of Rhino’s meshing slider interface.

Public Method

MeshingParameters(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)

Called by BinaryFormatter.Deserialize to create a new MeshParamaters object.

Properties

Name

Description

Public Property

ClosedObjectPostProcess

Gets or sets a value indicating whether or not to post process non-closed meshes that should be closed. If the Brep being meshed is closed, JaggedSeams = false, and ClosedObjectPostProcess = true, and the resulting mesh is not closed, then a post meshing process is applied to find and close gaps in the mesh. Typically the resulting mesh is not closed because the input Brep has a geometric flaw, like loops in trimming curve.

Code Example

Coarse

Obsolete.

Gets mesh creation parameters for coarse meshing.

This corresponds with the “Jagged and Faster” default in Rhino.

Public Property

ComputeCurvature

Gets or sets a value indicating whether or not surface curvature data will be embedded in the mesh.

Public Property
Static Member
Code Example

Default

Gets mesh creation parameters to create the default render mesh. Only use this if you plan on specifying your own custom meshing parameters.

Public Property
Static Member

DefaultAnalysisMesh

Gets mesh creation parameters to create the default analysis mesh.

Public Property

DoublePrecision

Gets or sets a value indicating whether or not the mesh should have double precision vertices in addition to the floats.

Public Property
Static Member

FastRenderMesh

Gets mesh creation parameters to create the a render mesh when meshing speed is preferred over mesh quality.

Public Property

GridAmplification

Gets or sets the grid amplification factor. Values lower than 1.0 will decrease the number of initial quads, values higher than 1.0 will increase the number of initial quads.

Public Property

GridAngle

Gets or sets the maximum allowed angle difference (in radians) for a single sampling quad. The angle pertains to the surface normals.

Public Property

GridAspectRatio

Gets or sets the maximum allowed aspect ratio of sampling quads.

Public Property

GridMaxCount

Gets or sets the maximum number of grid quads in the initial sampling grid.

Public Property

GridMinCount

Gets or sets the minimum number of grid quads in the initial sampling grid.

Public Property

JaggedSeams

Gets or sets whether or not the mesh is allowed to have jagged seams. When this flag is set to true, meshes on either side of a Brep Edge will not match up.

Public Property

MaximumEdgeLength

Gets or sets the maximum allowed mesh edge length.

Public Property
Static Member
Code Example

Minimal

Gets minimal meshing parameters.

Public Property

MinimumEdgeLength

Gets or sets the minimum allowed mesh edge length.

Public Property

MinimumTolerance

Gets or sets the minimum tolerance.

Public Property
Static Member

QualityRenderMesh

Gets mesh creation parameters to create the a render mesh when mesh quality is preferred over meshing speed.

Public Property

RefineAngle

Gets or sets the mesh parameter refine angle in radians.

Public Property

RefineAngleInDegrees

Gets or sets the mesh parameter refine angle in degrees.

Public Property

RefineGrid

Gets or sets a value indicating whether or not the sampling grid can be refined when certain tolerances are not met.

Public Property

RelativeTolerance

Gets or sets the relative tolerance.

Public Property

SimplePlanes

Gets or sets a value indicating whether or not planar areas are allowed to be meshed in a simplified manner.

Public Property
Static Member
Code Example

Smooth

Obsolete.

Gets mesh creation parameters for smooth meshing.

This corresponds with the “Smooth and Slower” default in Rhino.

Public Property

TextureRange

Gets or sets how and if textures will be packed.

Public Property

Tolerance

Gets or sets the maximum allowed edge deviation. This tolerance is measured between the center of the mesh edge and the surface.

Methods

Name

Description

Public Method

CopyFrom

Call this method to copy MeshingParameters from another instance.

Public Method

Dispose.

Actively reclaims unmanaged resources that this instance uses.

Protected Method

Dispose(Boolean)

For derived class implementers.

This method is called with argument true when class user calls Dispose(), while with argument false when the Garbage Collector invokes the finalizer, or Finalize() method.

You must reclaim all used unmanaged resources in both cases, and can use this chance to call Dispose on disposable fields if the argument is true.

Also, you must call the base virtual method within your overriding method.

Public Method
Static Member

DocumentCurrentSetting

Gets the MeshingParameters that are currently set for a document. These are the same settings that are shown in the DocumentProperties “mesh settings” user interface.

Public Method

Equals(MeshingParameters)

Determines whether the specified MeshingParameters has the same values as the present MeshingParameters.

Public Method

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified MeshingParameters has the same values as the present MeshingParameters.

(Overrides Object.Equals(Object).)

Protected Method

Finalize

Passively reclaims unmanaged resources when the class user did not explicitly call Dispose().

(Overrides Object.Finalize..)

Public Method
Static Member

FromEncodedString

Converts encoded serialized string into a MeshingParameters

Public Method

GetHashCode

Computes a hash number that represents the current MeshingParameters.

(Overrides Object.GetHashCode..)

Public Method

GetObjectData

Populates a SerializationInfo with the data needed to serialize the target object.

Public Method

GetType

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object.)

Protected Method

MemberwiseClone

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object.)

Public Method

SetSubDDisplayParameters

Sets the SubD display parameters.

Public Method

SubDDisplayParameters

Gets the SubD display parameters.

Public Method

ToEncodedString

Returns a encoded string that represents the MeshingParameters.

Public Method

ToString

Returns a string that represents the current object.

(Inherited from Object.)
