Mesh.CreateQuadSphere Method

MeshCreateQuadSphere Method

Constructs a quad mesh sphere. A quad mesh sphere differs from a standard UV mesh sphere in that it's vertices are evenly distributed. A quad mesh sphere starts from a cube (a regular polyhedron with 6 square sides). It is then refined by splitting each quad into 4 smaller quads. This splitting can be done several times.

Syntax
Copy
public static Mesh CreateQuadSphere(
	Sphere sphere,
	int subdivisions
)
Public Shared Function CreateQuadSphere ( 
	sphere As Sphere,
	subdivisions As Integer
) As Mesh

Parameters

sphere
Type: Rhino.GeometrySphere
The input sphere provides the orienting plane and radius.
subdivisions
Type: SystemInt32
The number of times you want the faces split, where 0 <= subdivisions <= 8. Note, the total number of mesh faces produces is: 6 * (4 ^ subdivisions)

Return Value

Type: Mesh
A welded quad mesh sphere if successful, or null on failure.
