The command's return value is a string array that contains the names of all of // the new contained faces. // o This MEL command has no flags, returns a string array, and operates on selected edges. // o Example MEL usage: // select -r pCube1.e[1:2] pCube1.e[6:7]; // string $convertedFaces[] = `convertEdgesToFaces`; // // Result: pCube1.f[1] // // AUTHOR: QT // LAST UPDATED: Oct. 11th, 2001. // TESTED ON: Maya 4.0 on Windows // STEPS TO INSTALL: 1) Unzip the file convertEdgesToFaces_v1_0_Maya4_Windows.zip to any temporary directory. // 2) Copy the file convertEdgesToFacesCmd.mll to: /AW/Maya4.0/bin/plug-ins/ // 3) Launch Maya, and load the plugin from Windows->Setting/Preferences->Plugin Manager. // BEGIN PLUGIN: // ============= // HEADER FILES: #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include // MAIN CLASS FOR THE MEL COMMAND: class convertEdgesToContainedFacesCommand : public MPxCommand { public: convertEdgesToContainedFacesCommand(); virtual ~convertEdgesToContainedFacesCommand(); static void* creator(); bool isUndoable() const; MStatus doIt(const MArgList&); MStatus redoIt(); MStatus undoIt(); private: MSelectionList previousSelectionList; }; // CONSTRUCTOR: convertEdgesToContainedFacesCommand::convertEdgesToContainedFacesCommand() { } // DESTRUCTOR CLEARS, AND FREES MEMORY OF THE PREVIOUS SELECTION LIST: convertEdgesToContainedFacesCommand::~convertEdgesToContainedFacesCommand() { previousSelectionList.clear(); } // FOR CREATING AN INSTANCE OF THIS COMMAND: void* convertEdgesToContainedFacesCommand::creator() { return new convertEdgesToContainedFacesCommand; } // MAKE THIS COMMAND UNDOABLE: bool convertEdgesToContainedFacesCommand::isUndoable() const { return true; } // SAVE THE PREVIOUS SELECTION, AND THEN CALL redoIt(), WHICH DOES MOST OF THE WORK: MStatus convertEdgesToContainedFacesCommand::doIt(const MArgList& args) { MGlobal::getActiveSelectionList(previousSelectionList); return redoIt(); } // CONVERTS THE SELECTED EDGES TO "CONTAINED FACES", AND RETURN FROM THE MEL COMMAND, A STRING ARRAY OF THE NEW FACES: MStatus convertEdgesToContainedFacesCommand::redoIt() { MSelectionList finalFacesSelection; MDagPath meshDagPath; MObject multiEdgeComponent, singleEdgeComponent; int dummyIndex; // ITERATE THROUGH EACH "EDGE COMPONENT" THAT IS CURRENTLY SELECTED: for (MItSelectionList edgeComponentIter(previousSelectionList, MFn::kMeshEdgeComponent); !edgeComponentIter.isDone(); edgeComponentIter.next()) { // STORE THE DAGPATH, COMPONENT OBJECT AND MESH NAME OF THE CURRENT EDGE COMPONENT: edgeComponentIter.getDagPath(meshDagPath, multiEdgeComponent); MString meshName = meshDagPath.fullPathName(); // EDGE COMPONENT HAS TO CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE EDGE: if (!multiEdgeComponent.isNull()) { // ITERATE THROUGH EACH "EDGE" IN THE CURRENT EDGE COMPONENT: for (MItMeshEdge edgeIter(meshDagPath, multiEdgeComponent); !edgeIter.isDone(); edgeIter.next()) { // FOR STORING THE FACES CONNECTED TO EACH EDGE: MIntArray connectedFacesIndices; edgeIter.getConnectedFaces(connectedFacesIndices); // ITERATE THROUGH EACH FACE CONNECTED TO THE CURRENT EDGE: MItMeshPolygon faceIter(meshDagPath); for (unsigned i=0; i
