Could you explain to me how to get all the triangles (vertices and indices and normal vectors if any) from the polygonal_mesh structure? I assume that data index is a pointer to the information I need (facet_ent?), but I can't find any documentation about it. There is no facet_ent struct in the SDK: __int64 data_index; //!< index in the the polygonal_mesh database map (-1 = not valid) //!< Use this index with ???? to load facet_ent data for use I found a function Cnc::Tessellation::TessellateEntity. This function works, but the problem is that the vertices it returns are duplicated - the indices are unique for each triangle instead of being the same for common vertices. Of course, I can fix this with post processing, but I wonder if there is a better way.

Hi, I'm from a student team based in Taiwan and is interested in learning Net-hook / C-hook. We've recently got 3rd party access from our cooperative reseller but couldn't find any learning material from the web nor the reseller. Thus, here I am seeking help from the community. We're trying to build a parameter interface that can generate tool path for machining. But due to the lack of resources and knowledge on the topic, we were unable to move forward. Thus, I'm here seeking help to see if anyone knows where to find resources or examples on net hook / c hook to push us forward. Any basic knowledge help regarding the logic and function of Net-hook / C-hook are also welcomed. Tools accessible: Mastercam 2023, Visual Studio 2022 Thanks for all help and advices.

I have what I hope will be quick question. I'm looking into starting to program chooks for a variety of reasons, and I can't seem to find a solid answer to this question. My fear is I'm going to dive into learning C or C++ then realize I need the opposite language. Any help or advice is much appreciated. If more information is needed please let me know. Not sure if it matters but I'm running Mastercam 2022.

Hi guys, I've been searching for some tools on MasterCAM that could help me achieve parametric programming for a group of similar parts. Is that possible with this software, I´ve been reading some stuff about vbscrit,Chooks, Net-hooks on MasterCAM, and also about the ATP tool. Can someone explain me if some of those methods can help me? The machine used for my university project does not support Macro B programming and maybe this will help me create machining strategies more easily for pieces that are geometrically similar, or am I wrong? Thanks, Fabiano Silva
