| SetPipeId | Sets pipe identifier in the range [1..N] associated to this render action while running a ScaleViz Multipipe configuration. |
| SetSceneManager | Set the scene manager associated with this action (if any ). |

| StopActionInBranch | This function stops the action in the current Scene Graph branch. |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Traverse | Does traversal of a graph rooted by a node. |
| UseAlternateRep | Tell the action to use alternate representations during traversal when available. |
RemarksThis class counts the number of rendering primitives a scene would use to render. This can be used as an approximation of how long the scene would take to render. The primitives are divided into five categories: triangles, lines, points, text objects, and images.
After applying the action to a path or scene graph, the results can be obtained with the functions OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.GetTriangleCount(), OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.GetLineCount(), etc. The decimation value can be altered before applying, which is useful for finding the minimum and maximum number of primitives the scene requires (use LOWEST and HIGHEST).
3D Text, such as OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoText3 can be counted as either text or triangles. The function OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.SetCount3DTextAsTriangles(System.Boolean) will determine how these objects are counted.
Polygonal geometry nodes, for example OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoIndexedFaceSet, are always counted as triangles even if the draw style (OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoDrawStyle) is set to LINES or POINTS.
Some shapes, such as trimmed NURBS surfaces, can answer quicker if they are allowed to approximate how many primitives they will use instead of calculating an exact answer. If an exact answer is not required, passing true to OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.SetCanApproximate(System.Boolean) will speed the action.
