Example:

This example shows how to print out the point positions and the triangle data for a polygon mesh.

        using namespace XSI;
        using namespace MATH;

        Application app;
        Model root = app.GetActiveSceneRoot();

        X3DObject myCube;
        root.AddGeometry( L"Cube", L"MeshSurface", L"", myCube );

        Geometry geom(myCube.GetActivePrimitive().GetGeometry());
        CPointRefArray points(geom.GetPoints());
        CVector3Array positions( geom.GetPoints().GetPositionArray() );

        LONG ulCount = positions.GetCount();
        app.LogMessage( L"Object: " + myCube.GetName() );
        app.LogMessage( L"Points: " + CValue((LONG)ulCount).GetAsText() );

        // Print out the x,y,z positions of each point
        for (LONG i=0; i<ulCount; ++i )
        {
            app.LogMessage(
                CValue(positions[i].GetX()).GetAsText() + L"," +
                CValue(positions[i].GetY()).GetAsText() + L"," +
                CValue(positions[i].GetZ()).GetAsText() );
        }

        // Print out the point indices for each triangle
        CTriangleRefArray triangles(geom.GetTriangles());
        CLongArray indices( triangles.GetIndexArray() );

        app.LogMessage( L"Triangles: " + CValue(triangles.GetCount()).GetAsText());

        ulCount = indices.GetCount();
        for (i=0; i<ulCount; i += 3 )
        {
            app.LogMessage( CValue(indices[i]).GetAsText() + L"," +
                CValue(indices[i+1]).GetAsText() + L"," +
                CValue(indices[i+2]).GetAsText() );
        }
