Hi,

I can't get the phong break working in my virtual polygon object.

First I tried to select the appropriate edges and then use SendModellingCommand(MCOMMAND_BREAKPHONG, md). No effect. If I make the object editable, I can see, that the right edges are selected. If I use another ModellingCommand like the Bevel tool, that works.

Then I tried GetPhongBreak() and write the edge selection into that baseselect. No effect.

I select the edges using bs->Select(polyIndex*4 + edgeIndex).

Can anyone please help? Isn't it possible at all to make a phong break in a virtual polygon object?

Here the code snippet:

  
BaseSelect          *bs = pp->GetPhongBreak();  
Neighbor          nb;  
PolyInfo          *pli;  
  
if (!nb.Init(pcnt, vAdr, vcnt, NULL))  
    return FALSE;  
  
for (i=0; i<vcnt; i++)  
{  
    pli = nb.GetPolyInfo(i);  
    for (j=0; j<4; j++)  
    {  
     if ((pli->face[j] == NOTOK) || (pli->mark[j]))   
          continue;  
  
     switch (j)  
     {  
     case 0: a=vAdr _.a; b=vAdr _.b; break;  
     case 1: a=vAdr _.b; b=vAdr _.c; break;  
     case 2: a=vAdr _.c; b=vAdr _.d; break;  
     case 3: a=vAdr _.d; b=vAdr _.a; break;  
     }                 
  
     p1 = pAdr[a] * m;  
     p2 = pAdr *** m;  
  
     for (l=0; l<k; l+=2)  
     {  
         p = pVert[l];  
         v = pVert[l+1];  
  
         if ((Len(PointLineDistance(p, v, p1)) <= tol) && (Len(PointLineDistance(p, v, p2)) <= tol))  
         {  
          bs->Select(i*4+j);       
          ecnt++;  
          break;  
         }  
     }  
    }  
}

P.S.: The CODE tag of this forum is really incredible. Of cause I used vAdr _and p2 = vAdr **, but the CODE tag doesn't do what it should: leave the included text untouched!

Isn't it possible to write some code using an array indexed by "i" ???

certainly. I tried it even twice, once after generating the polymesh and again after phong breaking. No effect.

Got it. The selection in my code above doesn't work, since it selectes - how to say - only single edges, i.e. the pli->mark[] exclusion prevents selecting edges twice from polygons that share one edge. This way is recommended in the sdk and works for other cases, but for phong break you have to allow this double selection. I also use GetEdgeS to select the edges and then break the phong with SendModellingCommand(). Gathering edges using GetPhongBreak() doesn't work.

  
for (j=0; j<4; j++)  
{  
//     if ((pli->face[j] == NOTOK) || (pli->mark[j])) --> doesn't work for MCOMMAND_BREAKPHONG  
     if ((j==2) && (vAdr[ i ].c == vAdr[ i ].d)) // just exclude edge 2 for triangles works for MCOMMAND_BREAKPHONG  
          continue;  
  
     switch (j)  
     {  
     case 0: a=vAdr[ i ].a; b=vAdr[ i ].b; break;  
     case 1: a=vAdr[ i ].b; b=vAdr[ i ].c; break;  
     case 2: a=vAdr[ i ].c; b=vAdr[ i ].d; break;  
     case 3: a=vAdr[ i ].d; b=vAdr[ i ].a; break;  
     }  
   ...  
}
