Hello,

I'm trying to use incremental faceting as it is described in http://doc.spatial.com/index.php/Faceter_Operations

When I save the data to the file, next read it back to memory and it comes to function api_facet_unfaceted_entity, it seems that ACIS thinks that the passed ENTITY is marked as it does not require faceting and as a result no mesh is generated for newly loaded data. It's clear that the problem may be fixed somehow by saving mesh data to the file, but actually I don't need it.

Is there a way to somehow remove the mark attribute related to the faceting from the entity?

I have an idea to remove this attribute when the file is loaded. I tried to use api_delete_entity_facets but it did not produce any results

Thanks in advance.

Hello Androy,

Can you please describe briefly what you are trying to achieve? ACIS Save Restore mechanism does not save mesh data so I do not understand what you mean by "saving to file". What are you saving to a file and how (api?)?

Hello ybiyani,

I'm trying to use incremental faceting in order to reduce time needed for remeshing of the model. I understand the in case of using the function api_facet_unfaceted_entity the ENTITY passed to the function is first checked on the need for regenerating of the mesh, and this is exactly what I needed.

But when I'm saving the model to file using the function api_save_entity_list the mesh associated with ENTITY-s is not saved to this file, but the mark pointing that it has valid mesh is saved. As I already tried to explain, the main problem appears when I'm reloading the project with api_restore_entity_list and pass the ENTITY-s to the faceter, which does not generate any mesh.

Andrey.

Hello Androy,

The behavior you are describing is not expected. Is there a way you can upload the sat file for our review? You can do that by creating an incident too using the online support system.
