my code is pretty huge now. Let me explain better: Imagine you have a character mesh, but with loads of random groups of faces missing. My script fills in all the missing faces. However, its not just as simple as plugging all the holes with a generic 'fill hole' tool or something, each hole requires a particular set of bridging and merging commands to fill the hole correctly, so that the edge flow matches up with the surrounding geo.
So my method was to literally create a long list which goes through each hole in the geo and starts bridging certain edges to other edges then merging them etc. I did it manually first so i knew the number of the correct edge to merge with the other correct edge. I can leave my python script as it is now and it will work. But it is quite slow and cannot easily be modified, because as you mentioned before it will throw the mesh vertex/edge ordering out. I just thought there must be a smarter api way to do this. I was just looking into that addPolygon method thing. As i am a bit slow, was trying to understand how it could be integrated. thanks, Sam ps. the script is required because i will have to repeat this same process with many more meshes. though all will have the same faces missing each time -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
