Adding a polygon to mesh

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to add a polygon to a mesh, where only one edge of the polygon is exist in the mesh (only 2 points of the polygon are already exist in the mesh). I tried to use the "addPolygon" function, but it didn't worked because the mesh doesn't contain all the points of the polygon.
Does anyone know how to add such a polygon to the mesh?

You could just create the polygon with a plane and then combine it and merge the vertices you need to be merged.

🤷‍♂️

but how can I combine the plane with the mesh (what functions combine them together)?

Select both objects and then goto Mesh>Combine.

Then select the vertices and go to Mesh Edit>Merge

The mesh is represented as a MFnMesh object in cpp code and the polygon is represented as an array of MPoint objects in cpp code too , and I'm trying to merge them in code. Do you know how can I do that?

No I don’t off hand.
