Synopsis

QuadSplit(angle)

Details

  • Base class: Rationalizer
  • Parameters:

    angle
    Maximum acceptable interior angle Type: A real number in the range [90, 180].

Description

QuadSplit is a Rationalizer applied by the Rationalize Skeleton modifier. As shown in Figure 6.94 it splits quadrilateral Elements into two triangular Elements, if the quadrilateral has an interior angle greater than angle. Unlike other rationalizers, QuadSplit doesn't affect its neighboring elements.
