Im trying to get the area of individual faces on a polygon object using the
Maya Python API.
I'm using the 'getArea' method in a 'MItMeshPolygon' iterator.
It requires a pointer to a double variable to store the area value in. (so I
figured 'MScriptUtil' is also needed)
Although I don't get any errors, the 'getArea', just seems to be outputting 0.0
for all faces.
So here is a snippet of code.
pFaceIterator = OpenMaya.MItMeshPolygon(inputGeometryObject)
faceAreas = []
while not pFaceIterator.isDone():
faceArea = OpenMaya.MScriptUtil()
faceArea.createFromDouble(0.0) # also tried without this line
faceAreaPntr = faceArea.asDoublePtr()
pFaceIterator.getArea(faceAreaPntr) # this is what is not working
properly
faceAreas.append(faceArea.asDouble())
pFaceIterator.next()
Does anyone know why this is happening or know any fixes or alternate methods?
Thanks
Ethan
