SPAfct Global Function api_facet_entity


outcome api_facet_entity(ENTITY* entity,
AcisOptions* ao= NULL )
Creates facets for an entity.

Role: This API facets the given entity. The accuracy of the facets are controlled with REFINEMENTs. If the entity is a body, a lump, or a shell, all the contained faces are faceted. Based on the surface type of a face, the refinement is first searched from the face, then the owning shell, then the owning lump, then the owning body, then finally from the defaults of the faceter.

The facets are passed on to the current MESH_MANAGER which appropriately directs the data. For example, it may display the facets, output them to a file, or attach them to a face.

Errors: Pointer to given entity must be non-NULL and to a BODY, LUMP, SHELL, or FACE.
