v6.0

Exports a model delta object into a specific file (usually something like "Deltas/modelname.delta"). This file can be used later as external storage or when importing a delta.

A Delta is basically a 'diff' or list of modifications made to the components of a reference model. You can specify which modifications should be tracked in each delta (eg., track only expressions and constraints vs. tracking all animation, etc.). Each model can only have one delta associated to it and each delta contains the name of the model to which it is associated.

ExportDelta( Delta, FileName );

Parameter	Type	Description
Delta	String	The model delta to be exported.
FileName	String	The filename where to export the model delta.

JScript Example

/*

	This example demonstrates how to export a model delta. It also shows how to find a model's delta.
