MKI_TransformSurface (Entity Editing) New in Version 2024.1

C++ Syntax

MKI_RESULTVALUE

MKI_TransformSurface(

 MKI_CONST_ENTITY_OBJECT_PTR f_pObjPtr1,

 MKI_ENTITY_OBJECT_PTR f_pObjPtr2 );

Transforms the given object into a surface, if possible. This function is sometimes required as some other functions do only accept objects of type MKI_OBJ_SURFACE. All non-geometric data stored in ObjPtr1 will be copied to ObjPtr2, especially all properties and attributes.

Parameters

ObjPtr1

[MKI_CONST_ENTITY_OBJECT_PTR] Address of the object that shall be transformed to a curve or surface.

ObjPtr2

[MKI_ENTITY_OBJECT_PTR] Address of a buffer that shall receive the transformed object. This buffer must be at least MKI_MaxEntityData() bytes large, and can e.g. be created using MKI_EntityBuffer().

Return Value

Transformation result as a bitwise-or combination of flags (see MKI_RESULT_*).
