BMesh Types (bmesh.types)¶

Base Mesh Type¶

Return type: float

clear()¶: Clear all mesh data.

copy()¶

Returns: A copy of this BMesh.
Return type: BMesh

free()¶: Explicitly free the BMesh data from memory, causing exceptions on further access.

Note

The BMesh is freed automatically, typically when the script finishes executing. However in some cases its hard to predict when this will be and its useful to explicitly free the data.

Note

Multiple calls can be used to join multiple meshes.

Custom-data layers are only copied from mesh on initialization. Further calls will copy custom-data to matching layers, layers missing on the target mesh wont be added.
