Also model, mesh, attribute and etc  are foundations of SMTK so it's not likely we would change them frequently.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div></div><div>The same question pertains to the type of ResourceComponents.</div><div><br></div><div>Any comments?</div><div><br></div><div>Bob</div><div><br><div>
