Input parameters manifold_surface and input_tags #25

Closed hph73 closed 3 years ago

hph73 commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I have difficulties in understanding the input parameters "manifold_surface" and "input_tags".

(1) Is it a better choice to set manifold_surface to true since it guarantees a 2-manifold output? Why does the author set it to false by default?

(2) What's the meaning of "input_tags" and how to use it?

Thanks!

Hi,

(1) Manifold output tetmesh is not always necessary, so we don't set this flag as the default option. (2) "--tag" ("input_tags") is for marking faces on different models for boolean operation.
