[vtkusers] Importing 3DS and VRML files.

[Allan Reinhold Jensen]

Hi.

Is there any way to get the number og geometric objects from the
vtkRenderer class when importing from 3DS or VRML files? I am in the
process of making a small command line tool using C++ and VTK which can
read a 3DS or VRML file and save it into a VTK PolyData file. The tool
works fine, but if the file contains more than one object, I would like to
print out a warning to the user. I can only seem to find the total number
of objects, including lights and cameras, and furthermore, all objects
imported from the 3DS or VRML file are of type vtkOpenGLActor, which makes
it hard to determine type (light, camera etc).

Any suggestions? Feel free to mail any answer.

Best regards,
Allan Reinhold
