Inquire about a setting of a draw 3D model finder context.

Syntax​

AIL_INT64 M3dmodInquireDraw(
AIL_ID DrawContext3dmodId, //in
AIL_INT64 Operation, //in
AIL_INT64 InquireType, //in
void * UserVarPtr //out
)

Description​

This function inquires about a specified setting of a draw 3D model finder context. These settings establish which features of a model or which results of found model occurrences to draw into the 3D graphics list when calling M3dmodDraw3d and how to draw them.

You can control the draw 3D model finder context settings using M3dmodControlDraw.

Parameters​

DrawContext3dmodId (in, AIL_ID)​

Specifies the identifier of the draw 3D model finder context to inquire. The draw 3D model finder context must have been previously allocated on the required system using M3dmodAlloc with either M_DRAW_3D_GEOMETRIC_CONTEXT (to draw occurrences of geometric models) or M_DRAW_3D_SURFACE_CONTEXT (to draw surface models or occurrences of surface models).

Operation (in, AIL_INT64)​

Specifies the draw operation about which to inquire.

InquireType (in, AIL_INT64)​

Specifies the type of setting about which to inquire.

UserVarPtr *(out, void)​

Specifies the address in which to write the requested information. Since the M3dmodInquireDraw function also returns the requested information, you can set this parameter to M_NULL.
