PolyfaceQuery Class

PolyfaceQuery is a static class whose methods implement queries on a polyface or polyface visitor provided as a parameter to each method.

Methods

Name Description
constructor(): PolyfaceQuery    
announceDuplicateFacetIndices(polyface: Polyface, announceCluster: (clusterFacetIndices: number[]) => void): void Static * Return an array of arrays describing facet duplication.  
announceSweepLinestringToConvexPolyfaceXY(linestringPoints: GrowableXYZArray, polyface: Polyface, announce: AnnounceDrapePanel): any Static Find segments (within the linestring) which project to facets.
