Get and Set Scene Properties Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to get a model's scene and get and set some scene properties.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open a model document.
' 2. Open an Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate window.
