Methods
| Name | Return Type | Parameters | Description |
| Clone | vcLayout | vcLayout parent |
Creates a clone of sub-layout and its children structure in 3D world, and then returns the new sub-layout. Parameter is the parent sub-layout to be set to the new clone. If this parameter is empty, it will use parent of the current cloning source. Cloning of a sub-layout is not allowed when there is a hierarchy lock in the node tree, which happens during layout loading, or while moving a node from one place to another. |
| MoveChildrenFrom | Boolean |
vcLayout source Boolean globalpos |
Moves the parameter source layout’s children to this layout, returns true if successful. For the second parameter, if true, the method overwrites the children’s relational/in reference transform with a new transform, which leaves them to their current global position. If false, their transform is left untouched and their position changes accordingly. |
