Apply and Remove Texture By Body Display State (C#)

This example shows how to apply and remove texture to and from a body by a display state.

//-------------------------------------------------- 
// Preconditions: Verify that the specified part to open
// and texture exist.
// 
// Postconditions: 
// 1. Opens the specified part and applies texture to the 
//    selected body. 
// 2. In the IDE, click the Continue button 
//    at System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break().
// 3. Removes texture from selected body.
// 4. To verify, click the Stop Debugging button in the  
//    IDE to stop execution of the macro and click anywhere
//    in the graphics area.
//    - or -
//    If the Stop Debugging button is grayed out, click  
//    anywhere in the graphics area.
