Files and Directories
In the Alias directory, there is a directory called ODS (an abbreviation for Open Digital Studio):
Inside the directory are three directories relevant to the API:
OpenModel- examples, compiled examples, and libraries specific to OpenModelOpenAlias- examples and compiled examples (plug-ins) specific to OpenAlias (an external library is not required)Common- examples and include files common to OpenModel and OpenAlias
Compiling code for either OpenModel or OpenAlias is straightforward and the process can easily be understood when reading the example Makefiles in:
c:\Program Files\Autodesk\.
However below are detailed the important concepts.
