ID3DXBaseMesh::DrawSubset

Draws a subset of a mesh.

HRESULT DrawSubset(
  DWORD AttribId
);

Parameters

AttribId: [in] DWORD that specifies which subset of the mesh to draw. This value is used to differentiate faces in a mesh as belonging to one or more attribute groups.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is D3D_OK.

If the method fails, the return value can be D3DERR_INVALIDCALL.

Applies To

This method applies to the following interfaces, which inherit from ID3DXBaseMesh.

ID3DXMesh
ID3DXPMesh

Remarks

An attribute table is used to identify areas of the mesh that need to be drawn with different textures, render states, materials, and so on. In addition, the application can use the attribute table to hide portions of a mesh by not drawing a given attribute identifier (AttribId) when drawing the frame.
