Base Mesh Type

class bmesh.types.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.
