Get Solid Bodies from Cut-list Folders and Get Custom Properties Example (C#)

This example shows how to get the solid bodies from cut-list folders and how to get the custom properties for the solid bodies.

//---------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open install_dir\samples\tutorial\api\weldment_box3.sldprt.
// 2. Click Tools > Options > Document Properties > Weldments >
//    Rename cut list folders with Description property value.
// 3. Right-click Cut list(31) in the FeatureManager design tree
//    and click Update.
// 4. Add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic (click Project >
//    Add Reference > Microsoft.VisualBasic).
// 5. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Traverses the FeatureManager design tree.
// 2. Examine the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because this part is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
