Member Function Documentation

virtual INode* CreateContainer ( INodeTab &  contentNodes )

pure virtual

Create a container.

Returns

the container node if successfully created

Remarks

If created, the container node will be selected

The container node will be created at the average of the content nodes, or at the origin if the Tab is empty

Parameters

[in]

contentNodes

- Nodes to be added as content of the container

virtual INode* CreateInheritedContainer ( const MaxSDK::AssetManagement::AssetUser &  asset )

pure virtual

Inherit a container into the scene.

Returns

the container node if a container was successfully inherited

Parameters

[in]

asset

- The container asset representing the definition file to be used

Remarks

If the asset is invalid, the user will be presented with a file dialog.

virtual IContainerObject* IsInContainer ( INode *  node )

pure virtual

Test if a node is in a container or not.

Parameters

[in]

node

- The node that we are testing to see if it is in a container

Returns

the container interface if the node is in a container

virtual IContainerObject* IsContainerNode ( INode *  node )

pure virtual

Test if a node is a container or not.

Parameters

[in]

node

- The node that we are testing to see if it is a container

Returns

the container interface if the node is a container
