Mesh FromPartShape

Description
The Mesh FromPartShape command creates a non-parametric mesh object, a Mesh Feature, from a shape object.

Usage

 * 1) Optionally select one or more objects.
 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the command:
 * 3) * Press the button.
 * 4) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 5) The Tessellation task panel opens.
 * 6) While the task panel is open you can create a new selection or change an existing selection.
 * 7) Select the tab for the mesher program you wish to use.
 * 8) Specify the required settings. See Mesher programs.
 * 9) Press the  button to close the task panel and finish the command.

Mesher programs
These are the available mesher programs and their settings:

Standard

 * : the maximum linear deviation of a mesh section from the surface of the object.
 * : the maximum angular deviation from one mesh section to the next. This setting is used when meshing curved surfaces.
 * : if checked, the maximum linear deviation of a mesh segment will be the specified Surface deviation multiplied by the length of the current mesh segment (edge).
 * : if checked, the mesh will get the face colors of the object.
 * : if checked, mesh segments will be grouped according to the colors of the object's faces. These groups will be exported for mesh output formats supporting this feature (the OBJ format for example).

Mefisto

 * : the maximum edge length of the mesh. A smaller value results in a finer mesh. Specifying, or unchecking the checkbox, results in a very coarse mesh.
 * If you press the button the mesher will enter an estimated value for the Maximum edge length. This value is not very reliable if multiple objects have been selected.

Netgen

 * : select an options for the finesse of the mesh:
 * : for this option the following settings can be specified:
 * : a smaller value results in a finer mesh. The value should be in the -  range.
 * : a larger value results in a finer mesh. The value should be in the -  range.
 * : a larger value results in a finer mesh. The value should be in the -  range.
 * if checked, the surface shape will be optimized.
 * if checked, second order elements will be generated resulting in a finer mesh.
 * if checked, the mesh will preferably use quadrilateral faces.
 * : a larger value results in a finer mesh. The value should be in the -  range.
 * : a larger value results in a finer mesh. The value should be in the -  range.
 * if checked, the surface shape will be optimized.
 * if checked, second order elements will be generated resulting in a finer mesh.
 * if checked, the mesh will preferably use quadrilateral faces.
