## Functions

| `HTessellationSettings`

## Detailed Description

class `HTessellationSettings`

  Specifies the settings of tessellation in Import.

  Public Types

  enum `HTessellationLOD`

    Values:

    enumerator `TessLODExtraLow`

      Extra Low level: when selected, these members are automatically defined with the following values: ChordHeightRatio = 50, AngleToleranceDeg = 40.

    enumerator `TessLODLow`

      Low level: when selected, these members are automatically defined with the following values: ChordHeightRatio = 600, AngleToleranceDeg = 40.

    enumerator `TessLODMedium`

      Medium level: when selected, these members are automatically defined with the following values: ChordHeightRatio = 2000, AngleToleranceDeg = 40.

    enumerator `TessLODHigh`

      High level: when selected, these members are automatically defined with the following values: ChordHeightRatio = 5000, AngleToleranceDeg = 30.

    enumerator `TessLODExtraHigh`

      Extra High level: when selected, these members are automatically defined with the following values: ChordHeightRatio = 10000, AngleToleranceDeg = 20.

    enumerator `TessLODUserDefined`

      User Defined level: when selected, these members should be defined: m_dChordHeightRatio if m_bUseHeightInsteadOfRatio is set to false, m_dMaxChordHeight if m_bUseHeightInsteadOfRatio is set to true, m_dAngleToleranceDeg. Be very careful when using m_dMaxChordHeight because a too small value would generate a huge tessellation.

    enumerator `TessLODControlledPrecision`

      Controlled Precision level: when selected, these members should be defined: m_dAngleToleranceDeg, m_dMaxChordHeight, deprecated_m_dMinimalTriangleAngleDeg.

      Deprecated:

        This is a deprecated feature.

  Public Functions

  inline `HTessellationSettings`()

  Public Members

  HTessellationLOD `m_TessLod`
  double `m_dChordHeightRatio`

    Specifies the ratio of the diagonal length of the bounding box to the chord height. A value of 50 means that the diagonal of the bounding box is 50 times greater than the chord height. Values can range from 50 to 10,000. Higher values will generate more accurate tessellation.

  double `m_dAngleToleranceDeg`

    Specifies the maximum angle between two contiguous tessellation segments describing the curve of a topological edge for every face.

    During tessellation, the curve describing the edge of a topological face will be approximated using straight line segments. m_dAngleToleranceDeg is the maximum angle between two consecutive segments.

    Allowable values range from 10 to 40. Lower values will result in greater accuracy.
  double `deprecated_m_dMinimalTriangleAngleDeg`

    Specifies the angle between two contiguous segments of wire edges for every face. Allowable values range from 10 through 30.

    Deprecated:

      This is deprecated and will be removed in version 31.1

  double `m_dMaxChordHeight`

    Specifies the maximum distance between the original geometric surface specified in the CAD file and the resulting tessellation. Be careful, very small values can generate very large tessellation files.

    Conversely, very large values can generate inaccurate tessellation. In such cases, it may be better to use the

    `m_dChordHeightRatio` member to scale this value relative to the object that’s being tessellated.

    Note

    `m_dMaxChordHeight` is ignored if `m_bUseHeightInsteadOfRatio` isn’t set to true.

  bool `m_bAccurateTessellation`

    Accurate tessellation. Uses standard parameters. ‘false’ indicates the tessellation is set for visualization. Setting this value to ‘true’ will generate tessellation more suited for analysis. Can be used with all TessellationLevelOfDetails.

  bool `m_bDoNotComputeNormalsInAccurateTessellation`

    Do not compute surface normals in accurate tessellation.

  bool `m_bAccurateTessellationWithGrid`

    Enable accurate tessellation with faces inner points on a grid.

  double `m_dAccurateTessellationWithGridMaximumStitchLength`

    Maximal grid stitch length. Disabled if value is 0. Be careful, a too small value can generate a huge tessellation.

  bool `m_bKeepUVPoints`

    Keep parametric points as texture points.

  bool `m_bUseHeightInsteadOfRatio`

    Use m_dMaxChordHeight instead of m_dChordHeightRatio if m_eTessellationLevelOfDetail = kA3DTessLODUserDefined.

  double `m_dMaximalTriangleEdgeLength`

    Maximal length of the edges of triangles. Disabled if value is 0. Be careful, a too small value can generate a huge tessellation.
