GetSurface:Int32 mesh:Int32, surface_index:Int32

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
mesh	In	Int32	required	Mesh handle.
surface_index	In	Int32	required	Number of the surface, 1 up to the number of surfaces.

Returns: The handle of the surface.

Description

Gets the handle of one surface of a mesh, which you need for every surface command. The index starts at 1, so visit all surfaces with a loop from 1 to CountSurfaces. This is also how you reach the surfaces of a mesh you loaded or of a primitive such as a cube.

Examples

mesh = CreateCube()
For i = 1 To CountSurfaces(mesh)
	surf = GetSurface(mesh, i)
	Print "surface " + i + ": " + CountVertices(surf) + " vertices, " + CountTriangles(surf) + " triangles"
