BTW - it's only necessary to call .toArray() in Jscript if you plan to
modify the data in place.  Otherwise, you can use the methods provided in
the vbSafeArray object.

You can iterate through the subcomponent collection provided in the previous
example and call the '.Index' property of each subcomponent item, or you can
call the 'IndexArray' property of the subcomponent collection as shown
below:

 

 

var oItem = Selection(0);

 

if ( oItem.IsClassOf( siCollectionItemID ) ) {

 

                // subcomponent reference

                var oObject        = oItem.SubComponent.Parent3DObject;

                var oSubComponents = oItem.SubComponent.ComponentCollection;

                

                var aSubComponentIndices = ( oSubComponents.IndexArray
).toArray() ;

 

                LogMessage( "SubComponent Indices: " + aSubComponentIndices
);     

}

Hi,

 

If the current selection in the viewport is a point e.g. "cube1.pnt[6]"
(CollectionItem) how do I get the primitive e.g. "cube" as X3DObject?

 

Hopefully this is an easy problem to solve. J

 

Thanks,

 

Avinash.
