sim.importShape

Imports a shape from a file (first imports meshes, then groups/merges them into a shape)

Synopsis

int shapeHandle = sim.importShape(int fileformat, string pathAndFilename, int options, 
                                  float identicalVerticeTolerance, float scalingFactor)

int shapeHandle = sim.importShape(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
- bit1 set (2): reserced. keep at 0.
- bit2 set (4): reserved. keep at 0.
- bit3 set (8): do not preserve colors
- bit4 set (16): tries to preserve textures.
- bit5 set (32): realigns the shape's bounding box with the world.
- bit7 set (128): ignore up-vector coded in fileformat.
identicalVerticeTolerance: not used. Set to 0
scalingFactor: the scaling factor to apply to the imported vertices

Return values

shapeHandle: the handle of the imported shape
