Description

This function converts a Source Primitive node into a Detailed Source and returns a boolean indicating whether conversion was successful.  After conversion, the Detailed Source will generate the same rayset as the original Source Primitive.  This function has the effect of removing any source modification restrictions imposed by the Source Primitive definition.

Syntax

success = SourcePrimConvertToDetailed( spNode )

Parameters

spNode As Long

Node number of the Source Primitive being converted to a Detailed Source.

Example

The example below demonstrates how to convert

Sub Main

    Dim spNode As Long

    spNode = FindFullName( "Optical Sources.LED (far-field)" )

    Dim cSuccess As Boolean

    cSuccess = SourcePrimConvertToDetailed( spNode )

    Update

    Print "Success?" & Chr(9) & cSuccess

End Sub
