Running the Example

To run the InspectICEAttribute example

Load the CustomICENodes\Data\Project\Scenes\GridWalker.scn file.
Select the grid geometry object.
Click the 'Inspect ICE Attributes' menu item from the 'ICE|Particles|Simulation' menu.
Open the scripting editor and watch the values logged in the history panel.

Building the C++ Example

Softimage SDK includes a compiled version of InspectICEAttributes. If you want to modify the code, you can rebuild the example by following these instructions.

To build the example on Windows

Open a Softimage command prompt, and type devenv to start Visual Studio .NET.

Starting Visual Studio .NET from an Softimage command prompt ensures that environment variables such as XSISDK_ROOT are set (otherwise you'll get build and link errors).

Tip To load the InspectICEAttributes project from the command line, type:
```
devenv InspectICEAttributes.vcproj
```
In Visual Studio .NET, open the project file InspectICEAttributes.vcproj.
Select a configuration (Release or Debug) and build the DLL.

To build the example on Linux

In a shell (tcsh) window, type:
```
source $XSI_HOME/.xsi_<xsi_version>
```
Change directories to
```
cppsrc
```
To remove all intermediate files before building the example, run this command:
```
gmake clean
```
To compile the example, run this command:
```
gmake
```
