v3.0
Returns the collection object matching the specific component
type for the current SubComponent. For example:
- VertexCollection for Vertex components (on PolygonMeshes)
- ControlPointCollection
for ControlPoint components (on
NurbsCurveLists and NurbsSurfaceMeshes)
- EdgeCollection for Edge components (on PolygonMeshes)
- PolygonFaceCollection
for PolygonFace components
- NurbsSurfaceCollection
for subsurface (NurbsSurface)
components (on NurbsSurfaceMeshes)
Note: If there is not an equivalent component collection, then an
empty XSICollection is returned
(for example, when a boundary or a knot is selected on a NurbsSurfaceMesh).
/*
This example demonstrates how to query the type of component
that is currently selected. This can be useful if you are
writing a tool that operates only on a specific subcomponent
and you are checking to make sure the correct type of
subcomponent has been selected by the user.
