Maxscript's function to remove degenerative faces in 3DS MAX

Question

How can I call removeDegenerateFaces on particular model? I'm unable to understand what's on autodesk documentation, since it is basically only line below

meshop.removeDegenerateFaces <Mesh mesh>

http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/15/ENU/MAXScript-Help/index.html?url=files/GUID-EF78FA1A-A382-4BED-BA10-7C856A7551A5.htm,topicNumber=d30e365344

let's assume I have object called body, how could I call that function on it? I tried body.removeDegenerateFaces <Mesh mesh>, but there was: error '<factor> expected'..

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

To directly answer your question, supposing the object named body is Editable mesh, you can do so by calling

meshop.removeDegenerateFaces $body

It will return true in case there were some and it removed them, false otherwise. I suspect, though, that it might not be what you are actually after – providing a detailed description would definitely help.
