ADOBE DIRECTOR 11.0 841 Scripting Dictionary length (3D) Usage member(whichCastmember).modelResource(whichModelResource).length vectorReference.length Description 3D #box model resource, #plane model resource, and vector property; indicates the length in world units of the box or plane. The length of a box is measured along its Z axis. The default length of a box is 50. The length of a plane is measured along its Y axis. The default length of a plane is 1. The length of a vector is its distance in world units from vector(0, 0, 0). This is the same as the magnitude of the vector. Example This statement sets the variable myBoxLength to the length of the model resource named GiftBox. myBoxLength = member("3D World").modelResource("GiftBox").length See also height (3D), width (3D), magnitude lengthVertices Usage member(whichCastmember).modelResource(whichModelResource).lengthVertices Description 3D #box and #plane model resource property; indicates the number of mesh vertices along the length of the box or plane. Increasing this value increases the number of faces, and therefore the fineness, of the mesh. The length of a box is measured along its Z axis. The length of a plane is measured along its Y axis. Set the renderStyle property of a model's shader to #wire to see the faces of the mesh of the model's resource. Set the renderStyle property to #point to see just the vertices of the mesh. The value of this property must be greater than or equal to 2. The default value is 4. Example The following statement sets the lengthVertices property of the model resource named Tower to 10. Nine triangles will be used to define the geometry of the model resource along its Y axis; therefore, there will be ten vertices. member("3D World").modelResource("Tower").lengthVertices = 10 See also length (3D)
