CollapseFaces
Collapse faces.
Syntax
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"CollapseFaces");
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection(property);
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);
Description
Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>),"CollapseFaces") to collapse faces.
Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("input") to select the faces to collapse. The default selection is empty.
The feature collapses a face by removing it, merging its adjacent opposite edges into one or more edges or collapsing all adjacent edges into one vertex, and reconnecting the adjacent faces to the merged edges or vertex.
The output object is a virtual geometry.
The following properties are available:
