List of Class IDs

These are the Class_IDs of the standard built-in classes.

These IDs are defined in .H.

The following are global instances of several Class_IDs defined by the system:

triObjectClassID - Triangle mesh Objects (TriObjects).defObjectClassID - General deformable object. These are objects that provide points for modification.mapObjectClassID - General texture-mappable object.patchObjectClassID - Patch objects.genericShapeClassID - Generic shapes.splineShapeClassID - Spline shapes.linearShapeClassID - Linear shapes.loftObjectClassID - Loft object.derivObjClassID - Object space derived objects.WSMDerivObjClassID - World space derived objects.This Class_ID is #defined for NURBS objects (#define EDITABLE_SURF_CLASS_IDClass_ID(0x76a11646, 0x12a822fb)):EDITABLE_SURF_CLASS_ID - NURBS objects.Listed below are the first ULONG of the 8 byte ID. The second ULONG is 0 for all built-in classes (unless noted otherwise). For example a Class_ID for a TriObject would read:Class_ID(TRIOBJ_CLASS_ID, 0);

Note that only built-in classes should have the second ULONG equal to 0. All plug-in developers should use both ULONGs.

The Class_IDs are organized by their SuperClassIDs.
