Added functions

All modules

  • configureFunctionLogger()

Module: Algo

  • crackCADMoebiusStrip()
  • createPointCloudKDTree()
  • createCosinusCurve()

Module: Scene

  • addComponents()
  • createSubTree() - replacing createCompleteTree()
  • getSubTree() - replacing getCompleteTree(). Minor change: the "PackedTree" does not contain parts and meshes directly. Use scene.getComponentByOccurrence(occurrences, scene.ComponentType.Part) to retrieve parts from occurrences and scene.getPartsMeshes(parts) to access the meshes.
  • deleteEmptyAnimation()

Module: View

  • getCuttingPlaneProperty()
  • getViewerGLContext()

Removed functions

Module: Scene

  • createCompleteTree() - replaced with createSubTree()
  • getCompleteTree() - replaced with getSubTree()

Module: View

  • fitView()
  • getCurrentCamera
  • getMainViewerCuttingPlaneProperty()
  • getMainViewerProperty()
  • getProjectionMatrix()

Modified functions

Module: Algo

  • convexDecomposition

    convexDecomposition(occurrences, maxCount, vertexCount, approximate, /, resolution, concavity)

    Experimental:Explode each mesh to approximate convex decomposition

    • Parameters

      • occurrences: OccurrenceList

        Occurrences of part to process

      • maxCount: Int

        Maximum number of convex hulls to be generated

      • vertexCount: Int

        Maximum number of vertices per convex hull

      • approximate: Boolean

        Approximate method

      • resolution: Int , optional

        (default: 100000)

        Resolution

      • concavity: Double , optional

        (default: 0.001)

        Concavity

    • Returns

      • newOccurrences: OccurrenceList

      • Resulting occurrences of the convexDecomposition

  • createTangents

    createTangents(occurrences, /, , uvChannel, override)

    Create tangent attributes on tessellations

    • Parameters

      • occurrences: OccurrenceList

        Occurrences of components to create attributes

      • sharpEdge: Angle , optional

        (default: -1)

        Edges with an angle between their polygons greater than sharpEdge will be considered sharp (default use the Pixyz sharpAngle parameter)

Module: View

  • createViewer

    createViewer(width, height, /, handleSelection, forward, glContextHandle)

    Create a new viewer

    • Parameters

      • width: Int

        Width of the viewer framebuffer

      • height: Int

        Height of the viewer framebuffer

      • handleSelection: Bool , optional

        (default: true)

        Does the viewer handle selection of occurrences

      • forward: Bool , optional

        (default: true)

        Does the viewer use forward (true) or deferred (false) rendering

      • glContextHandle: GLContextHandle , optional

        (default: view.GLContextHandle(nullptr, nullptr))

        OpenGL context handle

    • Returns

      • viewer: Viewer
