sim.importMesh

sim.importMesh

Imports a mesh from a file

Synopsis

list vertices, list indices = sim.importMesh(int fileformat, string pathAndFilename, int options, 
                                             float identicalVerticeTolerance, float scalingFactor)

float[] vertices, int[] indices = sim.importMesh(int fileformat, string pathAndFilename, int options, 
                                                 float identicalVerticeTolerance, 
                                                 float scalingFactor)

Arguments

fileformat: set to 0. Fileformat is automatically detected
pathAndFilename: the location of the file to import.
options: bit-coded: bit0 set (1): keep identical vertices, bit7 set (128): ignore up-vector coded in fileformat
identicalVerticeTolerance: has no effect. set to zero
scalingFactor: the scaling factor to apply to the imported vertices

Return values

vertices: an array of vertice arrays. The import operation may generate several meshes depending on the fileformat
indices: an array of index arrays. The import operation may generate several meshes depending on the fileformat

Example

--lua

local vertices, indices, reserved, names = sim.importMesh(1, "d:\\example.dxf", 0, 0.0001, 1)
for i = 1, #vertices, 1 do
    h = sim.createShape(2, 20 * math.pi / 180, vertices[i], indices[i])
    sim.setShapeColor(h, "", sim.colorcomponent_ambient, {0.5, 0.5, 0.5})
    sim.setObjectAlias(h, names[i])
end
