JScript Example

    /*
       This example demonstrates how to copy an operator and connect it to another object.
    */
    NewScene( null, false );
    var sphere = CreatePrim( "Sphere", "MeshSurface" );
    var cube = CreatePrim( "Cube", "MeshSurface" );
    Translate( "Cube", 10, 0, 0, siRelative, siView, siObj, siXYZ );

    // Apply the Bend operator to the sphere and change the angle
    var bendop = ApplyOp( "Bend", sphere )(0);
    bendop.angle.Value = 45;

    // Copy the existing Bend operator (with the angle modification) and apply it to the cube
    var bendop2 = bendop.Copy();
    bendop2.Connect( "Cube" );
    Application.LogMessage( bendop2.angle.FullName + "=" + bendop2.angle.Value );

    // Expected result:
    //INFO : cube.polymsh.bendop.angle=45
