CreateModel
Creates a new Model in the
Scene. If you do not explicitly
specify what objects (including other models) that the new model
will contain (via the InputObj parameter), then any objects that
are currently selected become children of the created node.
You can also specify which node to parent the new model under (via
the InputObj parameter).
This command is the scripting equivalent of selecting Create >
Model > New Model from the Model toolbar. It is similar in
syntax and behavior to the SICreateModel command, except that it
selects the new model.
Note: This command uses output
arguments. C# and some scripting languages (such as JScript,
PerlScript and Python) don't support arguments passed by reference
so you need to use the best workaround for your situation:
For scripting languages this command returns an ISIVTCollection which you can
use to get the output arguments.
For C# you can use the XSIApplication.ExecuteCommand
method to call this command. ExecuteCommand packs the output
arguments into a C# System.Object containing an Array of the output arguments (see
Calling
Commands from C#).
