CollectionItem

Object Hierarchy

Introduced

v1.0

Description

The CollectionItem represents a object in the scene, or a SubComponent selection on such an object. This serves as a default object when no specific object has been created in the Object Model, for example see XSICollection.Item. Many Softimage commands return the CollectionItem object. This object is also returned by Selection.Item if SubComponents of a X3DObject have been selected.
