Description

This function queries a node and returns a True or False indicating whether the node is a data collector surface object.  If the node being queried is not a surface, then the function halts with an error indicating that the node is the wrong type.

Syntax

isCol = IsDataCollectorSurf( node )

Parameters

isCol (Boolean)

Return value indicating that the node is a data collector surface object.

node As Long

Node number of the surface being queried.

Example

The example below demonstrates how to loop over the objects in a FRED model, identify the surfaces using the IsSurface function and then query each surface to report whether it is a data collector surface and print its surface type.

Sub Main

    'Header

    Print ""

    Print "Is Collector?" & Chr(9) & "Surf Type"

    Dim curNode As Long

    For curNode = 5 To GetEntityCount()-1

        If IsSurface( curNode ) Then

            Print IsDataCollectorSurf( curNode );

            Print GetType( curNode )

        End If

    Next

End Sub
