ChangeXSecShape()

void vsp::ChangeXSecShape ( const std::string & xsec_surf_id, int xsec_index, int type )

extern

Change the shape of a particular XSec, identified by an XSecSurf ID and XSec index

// Add Stack
string sid = AddGeom( "STACK", "" );
 
// Get First (and Only) XSec Surf
string xsec_surf = GetXSecSurf( sid, 0 );
 
// Set XSec 1 & 2 to Edit Curve type
