Properties

profile

Gets the first instantiated VolumeProfile assigned to the Volume. Modifying profile changes the Profile for this Volume only. If another Volume uses the same Profile, this clones the shared Profile and starts using it from now on.

Declaration
public VolumeProfile profile { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
VolumeProfile
Remarks

This property automatically instantiates the Profile and make it unique to this Volume so you can safely edit it via scripting at runtime without changing the original Asset in the Project. Note that if you pass your own Profile, you must destroy it when you finish using it.
