Creating a PolygonMesh... ?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I need help creating AcDbPolygonMesh object by defining it vertex-by-vertex, like the 3dmesh command does? How is that done? I kinda figure that this is performed using the brep API, but I don't know what a "brep" is, for starters, and couldn't find any samples in this matter..

Any more than conceptual info, sample pointers, etc. would be greatly apprectiated.

Thanks,

Take a look at the AcDbPolygonMesh::appendVertex() methods and the
AcDbPolygonMeshVertex class. All you need to do is to create a new
AcDbPolygonMesh object, then start creating AcDbPolygonMeshVertex objects
(there is a constructor that takes a position point) and adding them to the
AcDbPolygonMesh objects using appendVertex().

Brep is for solids not for Polygon or polyface meshes.
