Regular API function

simImportShape / sim.importShape

Description	Imports a shape from a file (first imports meshes, then groups/merges them into a shape). See also sim.importMesh.
C/C++ synopsis	simInt simImportShape(simInt fileformat,const simChar* pathAndFilename,simInt options,simFloat identicalVerticeTolerance,simFloat scalingFactor)
C/C++ parameters	fileformat: set to 0. Fileformat is automatically detected pathAndFilename: the location of the file to import. options: bit-coded: bit0 set (1): keep identical vertices bit1 set (2): reserced. keep at 0. bit2 set (4): reserved. keep at 0. bit3 set (8): do not preserve colors bit4 set (16): tries to preserve textures. bit5 set (32): realigns the shape's bounding box with the world. bit7 set (128): ignore up-vector coded in fileformat. identicalVerticeTolerance: not used. Set to 0 scalingFactor: the scaling factor to apply to the imported vertices
C/C++ return value	The handle of the imported shape, or -1 if the operation was not successful
Lua synopsis	int shapeHandle=sim.importShape(int fileformat,string pathAndFilename,int options,float identicalVerticeTolerance,float scalingFactor)
Lua parameters	Similar to the C-function counterpart
Lua return values	Similar to the C-function counterpart
Python synopsis	int shapeHandle=sim.importShape(int fileformat,string pathAndFilename,int options,float identicalVerticeTolerance,float scalingFactor)
