    Patches Property
    In This Topic
    Gets or sets the list of patches for this instance.
    Syntax
    public IList<Patch> Patches {get; set;}
    Public Property Patches As IList(Of Patch)
    Remarks
    The getter returns the reference to the list which can be modified directly. The setter copies the input IList to an internal container. Only the list is copied, not the patches. Note also, that the patches don't hold a reference to the containing multipatch builder. Therefore, changes made to the patches directly, such as adding a missing array of Ms to the patch, will not change the attribute awareness (HasM) of the builder.
    Example
    Construct Multipatch from another Multipatch
    // create the multipatchBuilderEx object
    var builder = new ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.MultipatchBuilderEx(multipatch);
    
    // check some properties
    bool hasM = builder.HasM;
    bool hasZ = builder.HasZ;
    bool hasID = builder.HasID;
    bool isEmpty = builder.IsEmpty;
    bool hasNormals = builder.HasNormals;
    
    var patches = builder.Patches;
    int patchCount = patches.Count;
    
    // if there's some patches
    if (patchCount > 0)
    {
      int pointCount = builder.GetPatchPointCount(0);
    
      // replace the first point in the first patch
      if (pointCount > 0)
      {
        // get the first point
        var pt = builder.GetPoint(0, 0);
        builder.SetPoint(0, 0, newPoint);
      }
    
      // check which patches currently contain the texture
      var texture = builder.QueryPatchIndicesWithTexture(brickTextureResource);
    
      // assign a texture material
      patches[0].Material = brickMaterialTexture;
    }
    
    // update the builder for M awareness
    builder.HasM = true;
    // synchronize the patch attributes to match the builder attributes
    //   in this instance because we just set HasM to true on the builder, each patch will now get a default M value for it's set of coordinates
    builder.SynchronizeAttributeAwareness();
    
    // call ToGeometry to get the multipatch
    multipatch = builder.ToGeometry() as Multipatch;
    
    // multipatch.HasM will be true
