Registration
Class registration and implementation information is as follows:
| Category | Documentation |

<FileNode> Properties
Properties are as follows:
| Property | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Folder Resolution: None | Do not resolve the file path set by this node. |
| Folder Resolution: Application Binaries Path | Resolve the file path set by this node relative to the application binaries directory. |
| Folder Resolution: Application Data Path | Resolve the file path set by this node relative to the application data directory. |
| Folder Resolution: Application Documents Path | Resolve the file path set by this node relative to the application documents directory. |
| Folder Resolution: Current Document Path | Resolve the file path set by this node relative to the document that contains this <FileNode>. |
| Folder Resolution: Application Scripts Path | Resolve the file path set by this node relative to the application scripts path. |
| Folder Resolution: User Scripts Path | Resolve the file path set by this node relative to the user scripts path. |
| File Extension Filter | Specifies the file extension associated with this <FileNode>. This value is used by commands that operate on this node. |
| Base Directory | Specify a different path to resolve the file path set by this node. |
| File Path | Sets the path to the file referenced by the <FileNode>. |
<Group> Properties
Properties are as follows:
| Property | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Visible | Toggles the <Group>'s visible/invisible". Child nodes are not visible when their parent <Group>'s is invisible. |
| Collisions | Toggles collision detection on the <Group> node and its children". This is used for runtime export and has no effect in Scenome applications. |
| Cull | Toggles view volume culling on/off". modifying this parameter may cause incorrect culling and other unexpected consequences. |
| Preserve Camera | This option is undocumented at present. |
| Generic Data Source | This option provides the capability to connect a <Group>'s to a node that serves as a generic data source. |
| Bounding Box Frozen | Freezes the bounding box at its current size. This is often used as a runtime flag, and modifying this parameter may cause incorrect culling. |
| Minimum X | Displays the minimum bounding box coordinate on the X axis. |
| Minimum Y | Displays the minimum bounding box coordinate on the Y axis. |
| Minimum Z | Displays the minimum bounding box coordinate on the Z axis. |
| Maximum X | Displays the maximum bounding box coordinate on the X axis. |
| Maximum Y | Displays the maximum bounding box coordinate on the Y axis. |
| Maximum Z | Displays the maximum bounding box coordinate on the Z axis. |
| Transform Locked | Locks the node and prevents transformation of the node and its children. This is a runtime flag and has no effect in Scenome applications. |
| Position X | Displays the node's position on the X axis. |
| Position Y | Displays the node's position on the Y axis. |
| Position Z | Displays the node's position on the Z axis. |
| Orientation X | Displays the node's orientation on the X axis. |
| Orientation Y | Displays the node's orientation on the Y axis. |
| Orientation Z | Displays the node's orientation on the Z axis. |
| Scale X | Displays the node's scale on the X axis. |
| Scale Y | Displays the node's scale on the Y axis. |
| Scale Z | Displays the node's scale on the Z axis. |
| Billboard | Sets the node as a billboard. Billboards rotate to face the camera. This feature has been preserved for compatibility purposes, but this functionality should be implemented with geometry shaders. |
<Node> Properties
Properties are as follows:
| Property | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Name | Sets the name of the node. Do not use / or \ [forward slash and backslash] in the node name as this produces conflicts with resolving link nodes that reference external files. |
| Class | Sets the class of the node. |
| ID | Sets the ID of the node. This must be unique for each document, but different documents can use the same ID. |
| Export Disabled | Determines whether or not the node is exported during an export process, or possibly other purposes. |
| Guid | Enumerates the Node's GUID. |
