RFPointTools.Triangulate2D

Description

Creates faces connecting vertices in a specified shell with satisfying specified parameters, and returns an RFErrorCode value indicating whether an error occurs.

Syntax

Function RFPointTools.Triangulate2D(shellID As RFEntityID, direction As RFTriangulateDirection, length As Double, area As Double, ratio As Double, angle As Double) As RFErrorCode

The Triangulate2D syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
shellID	[IN] RFEntityID Required. Shell's RFEntityID to triangulate.
direction	[IN] RFTriangulateDirection Required. Triangulation direction by which vertices are projected.
length	[IN] Double Required. Edge length criterion. If a created face has an edge whose length is greater than this value, the face is not added to the shell.
area	[IN] Double Required. Face area criterion. If the area of a created face is greater than this value, the face is not added to the shell.
ratio	[IN] Double Required. Max-min edge length criterion. If the longest edge/the shortest edge ratio of a created face is greater than this value, the face is not added to the shell.
angle	[IN] Double Required. Angle criterion. If the angle between the projection direction and the normal vector of a created face is greater than this value, the face is not added to the shell.

Remarks

All the vertices in a specified shells are projected(dropped) to a certain plane according to the direction parameter to create the face structure. Original vertex coordinates are preserved after completing the triangulation. If projecting faces to a plane overlaps, use RFPointTools.Triangulate3D method.
If a specified shell has its own local coordinate system( measured coordinate system ), the +Z or -Z option in direction parameter is defined in the local coordinate system.
To apply this method, the shell should not have a face or faces.
To ignore a parameter or parameters, assign 0.0 value to length, area, ratio or angle parameter.
