RFMeshTools.DecimateLargeShell

Description

Decimates a specified shell by a regular voxel sampling algorithm and returns an RFErrorCode value indicating whether an error occurs.

Syntax

Function RFMeshTools.DecimateLargeShell(shellID As RFEntityID, gridsize As Long, bEvalFaceCount As Boolean, pEvalFaceCount As Long) As RFErrorCode

The DecimateLargeShell syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
shellID	[IN] RFEntityID Required. Shell's RFEntityID to decimate.
gridsize	[IN] Long Required. Voxel resolution.
bEvalFaceCount	[IN] Boolean Required. It determines whether decimation is actually performed or simple decimated face count estimation is performed.
pEvalFaceCount	[OUT] Long Required. Estimated number of faces after the decimation.

Remarks

With bEvalFaceCount = TRUE option, only the number of faces after decimation is estimated and actual decimation is not performed.
This method provides a simple but memory efficient polygon mesh simplification function especially suitable for a shell that has huge number of faces. To get a highly qualified decimation result, use RFMeshTools.DecimateShell or RFMeshTools.DecimateRegion method.
