Description:

This class is available in release 4.0 and later only.

Class InterfaceServer is the base class for interface servers in 3ds Max and should be inherited by any class that wishes to implement the GetInterface() protocol. The InterfaceServer also adds a data member for storing interfaces, typically extension interfaces added to maintain API binary compatibility.
