Description

Procedure BeginMesh begins the efinition of a 3D mesh object in VectorWorks. Any 3D point or planar object call after BeginMesh will be included in the mesh object.

A mesh object allows the user to select and manipulate each vertex within its wire-frame model.

PROCEDURE BeginMesh;

def vs.BeginMesh():
    return None
