Use the functionality to set or query most of the parameters set in the Simplification Settings pane of the Native Model Simplification window.
|
NAME |
RESULT |
ACTION |
|---|---|---|
|
setSimplificationLevel(REAL) |
||
|
NO RESULT |
Set the overall simplification level. The overall parameter should be an integer; 1 for basic simplification, 2 for intermediate simplification (default), or 3 for aggressive simplification. Note: Calling these functions also sets the other parameters from this page to the defaults for that simplification level. This should be called before any other settings if these defaults are to be modified. |
|
|
getSimplificationLevel() |
||
|
REAL |
Returns the current simplification level as an integer:1, 2, or 3. |
|
|
setCylindricalSimplification(BOOLEAN) |
||

NO RESULT |
Enables (TRUE) or disables (FALSE) the conversion of parts of the model to cylindrical shapes. Default is TRUE. |
|
|
getCylindricalSimplification() |
||
|
BOOLEAN |
Returns TRUE if cylindrical simplification is enabled, and FALSE otherwise. |

Enables (TRUE) or disables (FALSE) the conversion of parts of the model to box shapes. Default is TRUE. |
|
|
getBoxSimplification() |
||
|
BOOLEAN |
Returns TRUE if box simplification is enabled, and FALSE otherwise. |
|
|
setExtrusionSimplificationProfile(BOOLEAN) |
||
|

Enables (TRUE) or disables (FALSE) the simplification of Extrusion Profiles from the model. The Default is TRUE. |
|
|
getExtrusionSimplificationProfile() |
||
|
BOOLEAN |
Returns TRUE if the simplification of Extrusion. Profile is Enabled, and FALSE otherwise. |
|
|
setExtrusionSimplification(BOOLEAN) |

BOOLEAN |
Returns TRUE if the simplification of Extrusion is Enabled, and FALSE otherwise. |
|
|
setInternalStage(STRING) |
||
|
NO RESULT |
Set the internal stage for removal of Internals during the simplification process. There are three choices: 'START', 'END', or 'BOTH'. The Default is ' END'. |

|
setRemoveHoleSize(STRING) |
