Get Model Material Property Values Example (C#)

This example shows how to get the material property values of components in lightweight mode.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open public_documents\tutorial\api\TopAssembly1.SLDASM in lightweight
//    mode.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Gets the material property values of the lightweight components in the
//    model.
// 2. Inspect the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
