.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function GetTessTriStripNorms() As Object
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IPartDoc
Dim value As Object
 
value = instance.GetTessTriStripNorms()
C# 
object GetTessTriStripNorms()
C++/CLI 
Object^ GetTessTriStripNorms();

Return Value

Array containing the tristrip normals (see Remarks)

Remarks

The format of the returned data is:

DWORD FaceCount

DWORD StripCount

DWORD (VertexCount) x 3

DWORD NumStrips

 DWORD [VertexPerStrip] = array from 0 to (Numstrips-1).

Float [Normals ] = array of X,Y,Z normal components for each strip from 0 to (VertexPerStrip-1).

where

FaceCount  = Number of faces on the body.

StripCount  = Total number of strips on the body.

VertexCount x 3  = Total number of vertices. Multiplied by 3 to cover X, Y, and Z.

NumStrips = Number of strips on a particular face.

VertexPerStrip = Array containing the number of vertex points on particular face strip.

NormalComp = Array of X,Y,Z normal components for each vertex on the particular face strip.
