How to Read the Commands and Scripting Reference Guide

 
 
 

In this topic, we briefly describe how to read the Commands and Scripting Reference Guide, as illustrated by the sample page below.

Yellow Highlights: In the Object Model documentation, each object is described in its own topic and provides tables containing all the available methods and properties of the current object. These lists include methods and properties which are implemented on the current object itself, as well as those which are inherited. Inherited methods and properties are highlighted in yellow.

Gear Icon: Not everything included in the Autodesk Softimage SDK is available from within a custom operator. For example, you cannot get your custom operator to call any commands. In addition, only special methods and properties are available from the Object Model. The gear icon beside the method and property names indicate that they can be called from a custom operator.
