Constructors

ParallelTransportTubeMesh(CrossSection, Boolean)

Contructor.

Declaration

public ParallelTransportTubeMesh(CrossSection crossSection, bool generateCaps = true)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
CrossSection	crossSection	Cross section to be used for the tube mesh.
System.Boolean	generateCaps	Should the ends of the tube be closed?

Methods

GenerateMesh(List<Vector3>)

Generate a mesh for all points.

Declaration

public Mesh GenerateMesh(List<Vector3> points)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.List<UnityEngine.Vector3>	points

Returns

Type	Description
UnityEngine.Mesh

GetCrossSection()

Get a copy of the cross section used.

Declaration

public CrossSection GetCrossSection()

Returns

Type	Description
CrossSection

GetMesh(List<Vector3>, List<Vector3>, List<Vector3>, Vector3, Boolean)

Generate a mesh for a spline according to the parallel transport algorithm.

Declaration

public static Mesh GetMesh(List<Vector3> points, List<Vector3> crossSectionShape, List<Vector3> crossSectionNormals, Vector3 crossSectionScale, bool generateCaps)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.List<UnityEngine.Vector3>	points	Points of the spline.
System.Collections.Generic.List<UnityEngine.Vector3>	crossSectionShape	Vertices of the mesh cross section to be placed at each point.
System.Collections.Generic.List<UnityEngine.Vector3>	crossSectionNormals	Normals of the cross section.
UnityEngine.Vector3	crossSectionScale	Vector to scale the cross section by. Can be used to control the diameter of the tube mesh.
System.Boolean	generateCaps	Should the ends of the mesh be closed with planar meshes?

Returns

Type	Description
UnityEngine.Mesh

ReplacePoints(List<Vector3>, Int32, Int32, Int32)

The parameters except points are ignored. This recalculates the whole mesh just like GenerateMesh(List<Vector3>).

Declaration

public Mesh ReplacePoints(List<Vector3> points, int index, int addCount, int removeCount)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.List<UnityEngine.Vector3>	points	All points of the complete line.
System.Int32	index	ignored
System.Int32	addCount	ignored
System.Int32	removeCount	ignored

Returns

Type	Description
UnityEngine.Mesh

SetCrossSection(List<Vector3>, CrossSection)

Set the cross section and recalculate the mesh for all points.

Declaration

public Mesh SetCrossSection(List<Vector3> points, CrossSection crossSection)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.List<UnityEngine.Vector3>	points
CrossSection	crossSection

Returns

Type	Description
UnityEngine.Mesh
