Class SurfaceTopology

Utilities for working with triangle and quad primitives.

Inheritance

SurfaceTopology

Namespace: UnityEngine.ProBuilder.MeshOperations

Syntax

public static class SurfaceTopology

Methods

ConformNormals(ProBuilderMesh, IEnumerable<Face>)

Ensure that all adjacent face normals are pointing in a uniform direction. This function supports multiple islands of connected faces, but it may not unify each island the same way.

Declaration

public static ActionResult ConformNormals(this ProBuilderMesh mesh, IEnumerable<Face> faces)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ProBuilderMesh	mesh	The mesh that the faces belong to.
IEnumerable<Face>	faces	The faces to make uniform.

Returns

Type	Description
ActionResult	The state of the action.

FlipEdge(ProBuilderMesh, Face)

Reverses the orientation of the middle edge in a quad.

. |  \  |  =>  |  /  |
. |____\|      |/____|

Declaration

public static bool FlipEdge(this ProBuilderMesh mesh, Face face)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ProBuilderMesh	mesh	The mesh that face belongs to.
Face	face	The target face.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	True if successful, false if not. Operation will fail if face does not contain two triangles with exactly 2 shared vertices.

GetWindingOrder(IList<Vector2>)

Return the winding order of a set of ordered points.

Declaration

public static WindingOrder GetWindingOrder(IList<Vector2> points)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IList<Vector2>	points	A path of points in 2d space.

Returns

Type	Description
WindingOrder	The winding order if found, WindingOrder.Unknown if not.

GetWindingOrder(ProBuilderMesh, Face)

Attempt to extract the winding order for a face.

Declaration

public static WindingOrder GetWindingOrder(this ProBuilderMesh mesh, Face face)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ProBuilderMesh	mesh	The source mesh.
Face	face	The face to test.

Returns

Type	Description
WindingOrder	The winding order if successfull, unknown if not.

ToTriangles(ProBuilderMesh, IList<Face>)

Convert a selection of faces from n-gons to triangles.
If a face is successfully converted to triangles, each new triangle is created as a separate face and the original face is deleted.

Declaration

public static Face[] ToTriangles(this ProBuilderMesh mesh, IList<Face> faces)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ProBuilderMesh	mesh	The target mesh.
IList<Face>	faces	The faces to convert from quads to triangles.

Returns

Type	Description
Face[]	Any new triangle faces created by breaking faces into individual triangles.
