Geometry.CreateSubComponent

Creates a SubComponent object containing the subelements of the Geometry matching the specified indices. If you don't specify indices, an empty SubComponent object is created.

C# Syntax

SubComponent Geometry.CreateSubComponent( String in_Type, Object in_Indices );

Scripting Syntax

Return Value

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
Type	ClusterTypes	The cluster type is used to identify the SubComponent type.
Indices	Array	A 1D array containing indices to the subcomponent of the geometry.

Examples

VBScript Example

set oObject = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.root.AddGeometry("Cube","MeshSurface","MyCube")

myVertexArray = Array(2,3,34,56)

FindInvalidSubComponentIndex siVertexCluster, myVertexArray, oObject

' Procedure that, given an object, an array of indices and a cluster type, displays invalid

' indices in the array.

	Dim l_invalidIndexArray, l_validArray, l_subComponent, l_bNotFound

	set l_subComponent = oObject.ActivePrimitive.Geometry.CreateSubComponent(in_ClusterType, in_IndexArray)
