ExtrudeSurface

This component belongs to the category of Engines. This engine extrude a surface and returns corresponding triangles.

Input Data

• triangles: list of triangles of the object to extrude. It must me a vector of BaseMeshTopology::Triangle
• surfaceTriangles: list of triangles of the surface to extrude. The type of triangle must be BaseMeshTopology::TriangleID, and not BaseMeshTopology::Triangle
• surfaceVertices: list of positions

Output Data

• extrusionVertices: list of positions of the new triangles, created from extrusion
• extrusionTriangles: list of triangles from extrusion (vector of BaseMeshTopology::Triangle)

Important Parameter

• heightFactor: extrusion is based on normals. So, this factor defines the final height of the extrusion.
