.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function GetTessellationQuality() As Integer
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IModelDoc2
Dim value As Integer
 
value = instance.GetTessellationQuality()
C#

Return Value

Number between 0 and 100 that indicates the quality of tessellation to use for this part; a higher index means finer tessellation

Remarks

This method returns the Shaded Display Quality setting that you find on the Tools,  Options, Performance menu. The numeric deviation value changes based on the current part. This deviation is calculated as follows:

Deviation = 0.025 * (BodyDiameter) / qualityIndex;

where:

BodyDiameter is the diagonal distance across the bounds of the part box. See IPartDoc::GetPartBox or IPartDoc::IGetPartBox for more information.

The resulting deviation value is in meters.
