class UPolyEditPreviewMesh : public UPreviewMesh

Remarks

UPolyEditPreviewMesh is a variant of UPreviewMesh intended for use as a 'live preview' of a mesh creation/editing operation. The class supports initializing the preview mesh in various ways, generally as a submesh of a base mesh.

Functions

	Name	Description
const FDynam...	GetInitialPatchMesh()
UE::Geometry...	GetInitialPatchMeshSpatial()	Must be non-const because query functions are non-const
void	InitializeExtrudeType ( FDynamicMesh3&& BaseMesh, const FVector3d& TransformedOffset..., const FTransform3d* MeshTransf..., bool bDeleteExtrudeBaseFaces )
void	InitializeExtrudeType ( const FDynamicMesh3* SourceMes..., const TArray< int32 >& Triangles, const FVector3d& TransformedOffset..., const FTransform3d* MeshTransf..., bool bDeleteExtrudeBaseFaces )	"Extrude Type" duplicates the input faces, offsets them using FExtrudeMesh, and stitches them together
void	InitializeInsetType ( const FDynamicMesh3* SourceMes..., const TArray< int32 >& Triangles, const FTransform3d* MeshTransf... )	"Inset Type" duplicates the input faces and insets them using FInsetMeshRegion
void	InitializeStaticType ( const FDynamicMesh3* SourceMes..., const TArray< int32 >& Triangles, const FTransform3d* MeshTransf... )	"Static Type" is just a static mesh
void	MakeExtrudeTypeHitTargetMesh ( FDynamicMesh3& TargetMesh, bool bUseNormalDirection )	Make a hit-target mesh that is an infinite extrusion along extrude direction.
void	MakeInsetTypeTargetMesh ( FDynamicMesh3& TargetMesh )
void	MakeStaticTypeTargetMesh ( FDynamicMesh3& TargetMesh )
void	UpdateExtrudeType ( double NewOffset, bool bUseNormalDirection )	Update extrude-type preview mesh by moving existing offset vertices
void	UpdateExtrudeType ( TFunctionRef< void&)..., bool bFullRecalculate )	Update extrude-type preview mesh using external function.
void	UpdateExtrudeType_FaceNormalAvg ( double NewOffset )	Update extrude-type preview mesh by moving existing offset vertices along their connected triangle normals and then averaging positions
void	UpdateInsetType ( double NewOffset, bool bReproject, double Softness, double AreaScaleT, bool bBoundaryOnly )
void	UpdateStaticType ( TFunctionRef< void&)..., bool bFullRecalculate )
