ParameterCollection.Find method

This example demonstrates how to find X3DObject objects Set up the example using a mesh grid, cube, cone, and a nurbs cube:

set oRoot = activesceneroot
oRoot.addgeometry "grid", "meshsurface"
oRoot.addgeometry "cube", "meshsurface"
oRoot.addgeometry "cone", "meshsurface"
oRoot.addgeometry "cube", "nurbssurface"
set oGeoms = oRoot.findchildren( ,,siGeometryFamily)
logmessage "The collection of geometry from the root is a " & typename( oGeoms ) 
logmessage "There are " & oGeoms.count & " geometry objects under the root." 
logmessage ""
for each item in oGeoms
	logmessage item.name & " is a " & item.type & " " & typename( item )
next

set oCone = oGeoms.find( "cone" )
set oCube = oGeoms.find( "cube" )
set oGrid = oGeoms.find( "grid" )

logmessage ""
logmessage "=========================================================================="
logmessage " Stats for the collection:"
logmessage " ------------------------"
logmessage "	Total number of objects in collection: " & oGeoms.count
logmessage "	Name of the first cone in the collection: " & oCone.name
logmessage "	Name of the first cube in the collection: " & oCube.name
' Try some error trapping ( if you are trying to use a find criteria that returns Nothing, 
' you will see this error message: 'ERROR : "Object required: 'oCube1'" )
set oCube1 = oGeoms.find( "cube1" )
if typename( oCube1 ) = "Nothing" then
	logmessage "	Can't get the name of the other cube in the collection."
else 
	logmessage "	Name of the other cube in the collection: " & oCube1.name
end if
logmessage "	Name of the first grid in the collection: " & oGrid.name
