Parameter.Parent3DObject

Introduced

v5.0

Description

Returns the X3DObject object to which the parameter belongs. The Parent3DObject property can be very useful when dealing with cluster properties and other objects that are buried deep in a 3dobject hierarchy.

Note: This property cannot be used within the _Update function of a CustomOperator.

C# Syntax

// get accessor
X3DObject rtn = Parameter.Parent3DObject;

Examples

JScript Example

/*
The Parent3DObject property can be very useful when dealing with custom property or
other objects that are nested under the 3dobject. 
*/
NewScene( null, false );
var oModel = Application.ActiveSceneRoot.AddModel();
var oNull = oModel.AddNull();
var obj = oNull.AddGeometry( "Cube", "MeshSurface" );
var oPSet = obj.AddCustomProperty( "Controls" );

var y = oPSet.AddParameter3 ( "ControlY", siDouble, 10.0, 0.0, 100.0 );
var z = oPSet.AddParameter3 ( "ControlZ", siDouble, 10.0, 0.0, 100.0 );

// Find all animated objects
var oParamCol = obj.AnimatedParameters();
// Find the 3dobject of each animated parameter.

{
	var oParam = oParamCol(i);
	Application.LogMessage( oParam.Name  + " belongs on object " + oParam.Parent3DObject.Name );
}
// Expected Result:
//INFO : "ControlX belongs on object Cube"
