Synopsis

shadingGeometryRelCtx [-offCommand string] [-onCommand string] [-shadingCentric boolean]

shadingGeometryRelCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This command creates a context that can be used for associating geometry to shading groups. You can put the context into shading-centric mode by using the -shadingCentric flag and specifying true. This means that the shading group is selected first then geometry associated with the shading group are highlighted. Subsequent selections result in assignments. Specifying -shadingCentric false means that the geometry is to be selected first. The shading group associated with the geometry will then be selected and subsequent selections will result in assignments being made.

Return value

string Name of the context created.

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
