3.3.2. Import Mesh
Under Import → Mesh, the user can import various types of 1D, 2D or 3D meshes. These include both tensor meshes (link to example) and OcTree meshes (link to example). In GIFtools, this results in the creation of a ‘mesh object’. Once created, GIFtools will allow the user to carry out a set of object-dependent actions (or methods) involving the mesh object. The methods applicable to each mesh object are presented on the object-dependent functionality page. The following mesh types can be imported into GIFtools:
3.3.2.1. Import a 1D Tensor Mesh
Use the main project menu: Import → Mesh → 1D
Refer to 1D Mesh file for file format.
3.3.2.2. Import a 2D Tensor Mesh
Use the main project menu: Import → Mesh → 2D
File format:
Refer to 2D Mesh file for file format.
3.3.2.3. Import a 3D Tensor Mesh
Use the main project menu: Import → Mesh → 3D
File format:
Refer to 3D Mesh file for file format.
3.3.2.4. Import an OcTree mesh
Use the main project menu: Import → Mesh → Octree
File format:
Refer to OcTree mesh file for file format.
