The CustomPrimitive class represents a custom primitive object. A custom primitive object is an implicit primitive where the representation is fully defined by user. Defining the representation is done via the callbacks (_Define, _DefineLayout, _PPGEvent, _Draw, _BoundingBox, _ConvertToGeom) for Custom Primitive.
A custom primitive object can be created using the GetPrim command. It can be converted into a PolygonMesh using the SIConvert command if the ConvertToGeom callback is specified.
See the custom primitive example in the SDK workgroup for examples on how to define a custom primitive object.

Reimplemented from Primitive.

| CustomPrimitive& operator= | ( | const CustomPrimitive & | in_obj | ) | 
Creates an object from another object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input object is not compatible.
| in_obj | constant class object. | 
| CustomPrimitive& operator= | ( | const CRef & | in_ref | ) | 
Creates an object from a reference object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input reference object is not compatible.
| in_ref | constant class object. | 
Reimplemented from Primitive.
Adds a new parameter to the custom primitive object.
| in_paramdef | The parameter definition (created via Factory::CreateParamDef) | 
| io_parameter | Returns the new Parameter object. | 
Removes the specified parameter from the custom primitive.
| in_param | Parameter to remove. |
