### Examples

#### VBScript Example

    '---------------------------------------------------------
    ' VBScript example : Getting model parents. This script
    ' demonstrates how to use the SIGetModel to find the common parent
    ' model of a given group of models.
    '---------------------------------------------------------
    ' First, create some models in a heirarcy.
    SICreateModel , "Sub1"
    SICreateModel , "Sub2"
    SICreateModel , "Sub2_2"
    SICreateModel "Sub1", "Root1"
    SICreateModel "Sub2, Sub2_2", "Root2"
    ' Now try to get the parent models of some models of models.
    Contains_Sub1 = SIGetModel("Sub1")
    logmessage Contains_Sub1 & " contains Sub1."
    Contains_Sub2 = SIGetModel("Sub2")
    logmessage Contains_Sub2 & " contains Sub2."
    Contains_Root1 = SIGetModel("Root1")
    logmessage Contains_Root1 & " contains Root1."
    ' Now try some with groups of models.
    Contains_Sub2_Sub2_2 = SIGetModel("Sub2, Sub2_2")
    logmessage Contains_Sub2_Sub2_2 & " contains Sub2 and Sub2_2."
    Contains_Sub1_Sub2 = SIGetModel("Sub1, Sub2")
    logmessage Contains_Sub1_Sub2 & " contains Sub1 and Sub2"
    Contains_Root1_Root2 = SIGetModel("Root1, Root2")
    logmessage Contains_Root1_Root2 & " contains Root1 and Root2"
    '---------------------------------------------------------
    ' Output from the script:
    ' Object : "Root1"
    ' Object : "Root1.Sub1"
    ' Object : "Root2"
    ' Object : "Root2.Sub2"
    ' Object : "Root2.Sub2_2"
    'INFO : "Root1 contains Sub1."
    'INFO : "Root2 contains Sub2."
    'INFO : "Scene_Root contains Root1."
    'INFO : "Root2 contains Sub2 and Sub2_2."
    'INFO : "Scene_Root contains Sub1 and Sub2"
    'INFO : "Scene_Root contains Root1 and Root2"
    '---------------------------------------------------------
