The MergeMesh method is used to merge another PolygonMesh into the current mesh. This operation applies a transformation to the source mesh and integrates its vertices, edges, and faces into the current mesh structure. The method also outputs mappings of the new vertices, half-edges, and faces created during the merge process.
To use the MergeMesh method, you need to provide the source mesh you want to merge, a transformation to apply to the source mesh, and dictionaries to store the mappings of new vertices, half-edges, and faces. These dictionaries will be populated with the corresponding handles from the source mesh to the new handles in the current mesh.
// Create a new PolygonMesh instance PolygonMesh currentMesh = new PolygonMesh(); PolygonMesh sourceMesh = new PolygonMesh(); // Define a transformation Transform transform = new Transform(); // Prepare dictionaries to hold the new mappings var newVertices = new Dictionary<HalfEdgeMesh.VertexHandle, HalfEdgeMesh.VertexHandle>(); var newHalfEdges = new Dictionary<HalfEdgeMesh.HalfEdgeHandle, HalfEdgeMesh.HalfEdgeHandle>(); var newFaces = new Dictionary<HalfEdgeMesh.FaceHandle, HalfEdgeMesh.FaceHandle>(); // Merge the source mesh into the current mesh currentMesh.MergeMesh(sourceMesh, transform, out newVertices, out newHalfEdges, out newFaces); // The newVertices, newHalfEdges, and newFaces dictionaries now contain the mappings from the source mesh to the current mesh.
