CountSurfaces ( mesh )
Parameters:
mesh - mesh handle
Description:
Returns the number of surfaces in a mesh.
 
 Surfaces are sections of mesh. A mesh may contain only one section, or very many.

   Note that surface indexes are indexed starting at one, so you can use the value returned by this function to use it as a For loop delimiter for indexing surfaces, without any modification.

Also note that vertex indexes are indexed starting at zero. 

CountVertices ( surface )
Parameters:
surface - surface handle
Description:
Returns the number of vertices in a surface.

   Note that vertex indexes are indexed starting at zero, so you will need to subtract one from the value returned by this function to use it as a For loop delimiter for indexing vertices.

Also note that surface indexes are indexed starting at one. 

CountTriangles ( surface )
Parameters:
surface - surface handle
Description:
Returns the number of triangles in a surface.

GetSurface ( mesh, index )
Parameters:
mesh - mesh handle
 index - index of surface
Description:
Returns the handle of the surface attached to the specified mesh and with the specified index number.
 
 Index should be in the range 1...CountSurfaces( mesh ), inclusive. 
 
 You need to 'get a surface', i.e. get its handle, in order to be able to then use that particular surface with other commands.

VertexX# ( surface,index )
Parameters:
surface - surface handle
 index - index of vertex
Description:
Returns the x coordinate of a vertex.

TriangleVertex ( surface,triangle_index,corner )
Parameters:
surface - surface handle
 triangle_index - triangle index
 corner - corner of triangle. Should be 0, 1 or 2.
Description:
Returns the vertex of a triangle corner.

CreateBank:TBank( size=0 )
Returns:
 A bank object with an initial size of size bytes 
Description:
 Create a bank
CreateBank creates a Bank allocating a specified amount of memory thatcan be used for storage of binary data using the various Poke andPeek commands. 

PokeFloat( bank:TBank,offset,value# )
Returns:
 Nothing. 
Description:
 Poke a float into a bank
A float requires 4 bytes of storage 

PokeInt( bank:TBank,offset,value )
Returns:
 Nothing. 
Description:
 Poke an int into a bank
An int is a signed 32 bit value that requires 4 bytes of storage.
