Class MeshElement

An element whose representation is provided by a mesh.

Examples
var mesh = new Mesh();
var gridSize = 10;
for (var u = 0; u < gridSize; u += 1)
{
    for (var v = 0; v < gridSize; v += 1)
    {
        var sinu = Math.Sin(-Math.PI + 2 * ((double)u / (double)gridSize * Math.PI));
        var sinv = Math.Sin(-Math.PI + 2 * ((double)v / (double)gridSize * Math.PI));
        var z = sinu + sinv;
        var vertex = new Vertex(new Vector3(u, v, z), color: Colors.Mint);
        mesh.AddVertex(vertex);

        if (u > 0 && v > 0)
        {
            var index = u * gridSize + v;
            var a = mesh.Vertices[index];
            var b = mesh.Vertices[index - gridSize];
            var c = mesh.Vertices[index - 1];
            var d = mesh.Vertices[index - gridSize - 1];
            var tri1 = new Triangle(a, b, c);
            var tri2 = new Triangle(c, b, d);

            mesh.AddTriangle(tri1);
            mesh.AddTriangle(tri2);
        }
    }
}
mesh.ComputeNormals();
var meshElement = new MeshElement(mesh, material: new Material("Lime", Colors.Lime));

Constructors

MeshElement()

Empty constructor for compatibility purposes. It is best to use the structured constructor with arguments, to ensure the mesh is correctly created.

Declaration
public MeshElement()

MeshElement(Mesh, Transform, Material, Representation, Boolean, Guid, String)

Construct an import mesh element.

Declaration
[JsonConstructor]
public MeshElement(Mesh mesh, Transform transform = null, Material material = null, Representation representation = null, bool isElementDefinition = false, Guid id = default(Guid), string name = null)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Mesh mesh

The element's mesh.
Transform transform

The element's transform.
Material material

The element's material.
Representation representation

The element's representation.
System.Boolean isElementDefinition

Is this element a definition?
System.Guid id

The element's id.
System.String name

The element's name.

Fields

_mesh

The mesh.

Declaration
protected Mesh _mesh
