IGetTessTriangles Method (IPartDoc)

Gets the triangles that make up the shaded picture tessellation for this part.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function IGetTessTriangles( _
   ByVal NoConversion As System.Boolean _
) As System.Single
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IPartDoc
Dim NoConversion As System.Boolean
Dim value As System.Single
 
value = instance.IGetTessTriangles(NoConversion)
C# 
System.float IGetTessTriangles( 
   System.bool NoConversion
)
C++/CLI 
System.float IGetTessTriangles( 
&   System.bool NoConversion
) 

Parameters

NoConversion

True to prohibit conversion to user units from system units , false to do so

Return Value

  • in-process, unmanaged C++: Pointer to an array of floats (see Remarks)
  • VBA, VB.NET, C#, and C++/CLI: Not supported

    See In-process Methods for details about this type of method.

  • Remarks

    These triangles are intended for graphics display purposes and do not represent a tessellation that could be used, for example, by a machining application. If you need the type of accuracy associated with a machining product, it is recommended that you traverse the body faces and extract the topology and geometry data to create your own faceting.

    The total size of the data is:

    [ 9 x sizeof(float ) x (number of triangles) ].

    The format of the data is:

    • float x, y, z first point in meters

    • float x, y, z second point in meters

    • float x, y, z third point in meters

    for the set of triangles for the part.
