MeshPatch

Toolbar Menu

Mesh Creation

Not on menus.

The MeshPatch command creates a polygon mesh from curves and points.

Steps

  1. Select curves and points.
  2. Select closed interior curves to be used to create holes in the mesh, or press Enter to create a mesh with no holes.
    Closed curves used as the inner boundary are treated as holes.

Command-line options

AngleTolerance

Used to make polyline approximations of curves. If only polylines are selected, this setting has no effect on the final output.

StartingSurface

Use a reference surface that is similar in shape to the mesh you are trying to create. The surface will influence the mesh shape.

Hidden command-line options

Sets the segment number on each side of the base rectangular mesh.

This option is only available when TrimBack=No. When TrimBack=Yes, the segment number is always set to 1.
