MakePatch Method—ArcGIS Pro

MakePatch Method

In This Topic

Creates an empty Patch that inherits attribute awareness from this builder.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public Patch MakePatch( 
   PatchType patchType
)

Public Function MakePatch( _
   ByVal patchType As PatchType _
) As Patch

Parameters

patchType: The patch type to make

Remarks

The Patch will inherit the attributes of this MultipatchBuilderEx such as HasM, HasID, and HasNormals. The new patch will have no texture coordinates.

Example

Construct Multipatch via MultipatchBuilderEx
