Geometry.CreateSubComponent

Creates a SubComponent object containing the subelements of the Geometry matching the specified indices. If you don't specify indices, an empty SubComponent object is created.

C# Syntax

SubComponent Geometry.CreateSubComponent( String in_Type, Object in_Indices );

Scripting Syntax

Return Value

Parameters

Parameter Type Description

Type ClusterTypes The cluster type is used to identify the SubComponent type.

Indices Array A 1D array containing indices to the subcomponent of the geometry.

Examples

Parameter	Type	Description
Type	ClusterTypes	The cluster type is used to identify the SubComponent type.
Indices	Array	A 1D array containing indices to the subcomponent of the geometry.

VBScript Example

myVertexArray = Array(2,3,34,56)
FindInvalidSubComponentIndex siVertexCluster, myVertexArray, oObject
' Procedure that, given an object, an array of indices and a cluster type, displays invalid
' indices in the array.
Sub FindInvalidSubComponentIndex( in_ClusterType, in_IndexArray, in_Object)
