Title: Edge mode in combination with polygon ID's
Post by: GT4505 on February 10, 2016, 06:21:27 PM
Hi,

Can someone inform me about the capabilities of edge mode in combination with polygon ID.
I was populating my terrain with grass, based on poly ID's. Is that possible in combination with the edge mode?

It gave some strange results here.

Thank you
Pieter

Hi Pieter,

The Boundary Checking - Edge mode is compatible with Material IDs, but as mentioned in our on-line reference guide (http://docs.itoosoft.com/display/FORESTPACK/Areas#Areas-CommonProperties):

"... when using edge mode, an element is defined as a group of connected faces that share the same material ID ..."


If you want to perform the Edge mode operation on those polygons, you should "Break" (or Detach - Detach to Element) these into corresponding Elements. This way you can control where to apply it and where not. Attaching example of its behaviour on a plane with two Material IDs assigned - being one Element / divided into two Elements.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
