PK_replace_merge_t

typedef int PK_replace_merge_t;

Used in:

PK_FACE_change_replace_o_t
PK_FACE_replace_surfs_o_t

Adjacent faces that were previously non-mergeable may become mergeable
when the surface of one or both faces is replaced. This datatype specifies
the level of merging that should be performed where feasible. Merging is
recommended when adjacent faces are to acquire identical surfaces.

No merging will be attempted for edges for which replacement curves have
been provided.

It has the values:

PK_replace_merge_no_c          No replace-specific merging will be performed.
                               Merging may still occur when healing is
                               required to ensure integrity of the final part.

PK_replace_merge_in_c          Faces included in the given set of faces which
                               will be merged together if feasible.

                               Vertices on the boundary of the merged face will
                               be merged if feasible, additional faces will
                               not be merged to achieve this.

PK_replace_merge_out_c         Faces included in the given set and faces that
                               are not, but share at least one common edge with
                               faces in the given set, will be merged if
                               feasible.

                               Faces not in the given set and sharing only a
                               vertex with faces in the given set will not be
                               merged.

                               Vertices on the boundary of the merged face will
                               be merged if feasible, additional faces will
                               not be merged to achieve this.
