Detailed Description

3D data of an element.

Remarks

Use the ACAPI_ModelAccess_Get3DInfo function to get the 3D representation of a construction element. Once an element is converted to 3D, it will have the following components:

• model information based on BODYs,
• lighting model based on LIGHTs; if lights are defined from the 3D GDL script,
• materials; either from the global attribute pool, or defined from the 3D GDL script. All of the data can be accessed through the API_Component3D structure.
