Example of Working with Polygon Meshes

Sample project of working with polygon meshes is located in the Drawing\Examples\DevGuide\OdPolygonMeshEx subdirectory of the ODA installation folder (for example, C:\Program Files\Open Design Alliance).

The sample project demonstrates creating a polygon mesh, and modifying and displaying its properties. The application creates a .dwg file and then prints the following information about the created polygon mesh objects:

  • Polygon mesh type.
  • 'Open' status in M direction.
  • 'Open' status in N direction.
  • Polygon mesh plane.
  • Number of rows.
  • Number of columns.
  • Number of density in M direction.
  • Number of density in N direction.
  • Number of vertices.

The application generates a .dwg file that contains four polygon mesh objects, which show specific types of the polygon meshes:

  • First polygon mesh shows the Simple polygon mesh.
  • Second polygon mesh shows the Cubic polygon mesh.
  • Third polygon mesh shows the Quadric polygon mesh.
  • Fourth polygon mesh shows the Bezier polygon mesh.
