Public Attributes
API_3D_Head	head
	Header information of this component. This specifies the type and database index.
API_MaterialType	mater
	The definition of the material. The head.index is 0 in case of GDL materials; and n in case of global material reference.

Detailed Description

Representation of a 3D material.

Remarks

This structure contains the properties of a material. These properties are described in the API_MaterialType structure. Basically, there are two sources of materials. The first is the globally stored material, the second is when they come from an object's GDL script. In the case of GDL materials, the index in the header is 0. In the case of a global material, the value of the header is greater than 0. In both cases, the parameters of the material can be obtained from the mater field of this structure. The following 3D components can refer to a material: API_PgonType, API_BodyType.
