numSegments

Syntax

    member(whichCastmember).modelResource(whichModelResource).numSegments

Description

3D property; when used with a model resource whose type is `#cylinder`, allows you to get or set the `numSegments` property of the model resource.

The `numSegments` property determines the number of segments running from the top cap of the cylinder to the bottom cap. This property must be greater than or equal to the default value of 2.

The smoothness of the cylinder's surface depends upon the value specified for this property. The greater the property value the smoother the cylinder's surface will appear.

Example

This statement sets the `numSegments` property of the model resource named Cylinder03 to 10.

    member("3D World").modelResource("Cylinder03").numSegments = 10
