SoNodeGetAlternateRep Method

This method is called by actions to allow the node to provide an "alternate representation" when appropriate (typically depending on the action type).

Namespace: OIV.Inventor.Nodes
Assembly: OIV.Inventor (in OIV.Inventor.dll) Version: 10.12.3.0 (10.12.3.0)
Syntax
[EditorBrowsableAttribute(EditorBrowsableState.Advanced)]
public virtual SoNode GetAlternateRep(
	SoAction action
)

Parameters

action
Type: OIV.Inventor.ActionsSoAction

Return Value

Type: SoNode
Remarks

For example, when an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoIndexedTexture2 node is traversed by an OIV.HardCopy.SoToU3DAction, it returns an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoTexture2 node as its alternate representation, because indexed textures are not supported in U3D. A custom node can use this mechanism to provide an alternate representation using standard nodes when it is travered by an OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoWriteAction.

By default the node itself is returned.
