Is there any easy way of converting a UV coordinate to a polygon index?Thus far, the only thing I've been able to figure out is to iterate over all the data of a UVWTag using the UVWTag::Get() function as described in the SDK documents, then test to see whether or not the UV coordinate I'm trying to locate actually falls within the triangle/quadrangle defined by the UVWStruct.
This is, of course, very time consuming, since I have to iterate over all the polygons in the UVWTag each and every time my code executes. Is there some other quicker way of handling this?

Howdy,
Well, it sounds like the Neighbor class would help you there.
Adios,

Hi CMPX,
there is no function to achieve what you want.
a) There's no direct 1:1 relation, there could be multiple polygons belonging to a single UW coordinate.
b) There would be some additional data structures be needed to speed up such a look up and these do not exist.
So it would need to be done internally in the same way you can do it on your own. Sorry.
