Summary
The CP_3DF2PFACE command converts selected 3DFACE objects into a 3D polyface mesh object. This command is ideal for consolidating multiple 3DFACE objects into a single mesh entity, enhancing the manageability and performance of 3D models.
CADPower -> Conversion -> Polyline/3DFace/Mesh -> 3DFaces to polyface mesh
Key features include:
- 3DFace to Polyface Mesh Conversion: Transforms multiple 3DFACE objects into a unified polyface mesh, providing a more efficient representation of complex surfaces.
- Layer Placement Options:
- Source: Places the resulting polyface mesh in the same layer as the original 3DFACE objects.
- Current: Places the mesh in the current active layer.
- Specify: Allows selection of a specific layer for the polyface mesh.
- Layer Selection Dialog: Use the “Select” button to easily choose a layer, with the selected layer’s name displayed.
- Deletion Option: Optionally delete the original 3DFACE objects after conversion, keeping the drawing organized and streamlined.
The CP_3DF2PFACE command is an essential tool for converting surface-based 3DFACE objects into a single, cohesive polyface mesh, facilitating smoother modeling and rendering in 3D environments.
