Create mesh based on particle position

[ramesh03]

Hi

I am planing to create polymesh based on particle position.polyCreateFacet require 3 points to create the mesh.But here i dono how to pass 3 points at same time.So how to fix this...

// Error: line 4: Not enough points : minimum 3. //

global proc test()
{
    string $selList[] = ls -sl;
    string $cmd = polyCreateFacet -n "mesh";
    int $count = particle -q -count $selList[0];
    for($i=0; $i<$count; $i++)
    {
        float $loc[] = particle -attribute position -id $i -q $selList[0];
        $cmd += ("-point"+$loc[0]+" "+$loc[1]+" "+$loc[2]);
    }
    eval $cmd;
}
test()

Thanks,

The biggest error was that you were actually calling $cmd before it had the point information. You want $cmd to be a simple string of words and numbers until the loop is done. Then you use the eval command to treat the string like it's a command.

Try this:

global proc test(){
    string $selList[]  = ls -sl; 
    string $cmd       = "polyCreateFacet -n \"mesh\""; 
    int    $count       = particle        -q -count $selList[0];  

    for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){ 
        float $loc[] = `particle -attribute position -id $i -q $selList[0]`; 
        $cmd += ("-point "+$loc[0]+" "+$loc[1]+" "+$loc[2]);
    }
    eval $cmd; 
} 
test();
