Short description:	Loads textures coordinates for segmented structures.

Usage

Loads textures coordinates for segmented structures. Opacity mapping is enabled by default. The textures are applied when the Loaded event was sent. It is also possible to apply the textures when they are treated as visible.

All structures can be switched to (in)visible with the internal METKStructureGroupBrowser. The same behavior is reached by setting ObjectID Appearance Visible and Appearance Texturize.

The texture type (opacity or TAM) may be set by ObjectID Appearance TextureType.

The scale factor of a texture may be set by ObjectID Appearance TextureScale.
