Function ProPartTessellate


Description
Returns a tessellation (also called a triangulation) of each surface of the specified part. For parts, acts on all surfaces. For assemblies, acts only on surfaces of the assembly, not components.

NOTE: Use function ProPartTessellationFree() to release memory allocated by this function.
