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

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

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: Verify that the specified part and texture exist.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the part and applies texture to the selected face.
// 2. Examine the part.
// 3. In the IDE, click the Continue button at
//    System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break().
// 4. Removes the texture from the selected face.
// 5. To verify, click the Stop Debugging button in the IDE
//    to stop execution of the macro, then click anywhere
//    in the SOLIDWORKS graphics area.
