The SkipToolsMaterials method is part of the Editor.Trace struct and is used to configure a trace operation to ignore materials that have the tools.toolsmaterial attribute. This is particularly useful when you want to perform trace operations that should not interact with certain tool-specific materials, allowing for more precise and relevant trace results.
To use the SkipToolsMaterials method, you need to call it on an instance of Editor.Trace. This method modifies the trace configuration to skip over any materials marked with the tools.toolsmaterial attribute. This is typically used in scenarios where you want to avoid interactions with tool-specific materials during trace operations.
// Example of using SkipToolsMaterials in a trace operation
Editor.Trace trace = new Editor.Trace();
trace = trace.SkipToolsMaterials();
// Assuming you have a MapWorld instance
Editor.MapDoc.MapWorld world = GetMapWorld();
Editor.TraceResult result = trace.Run(world);
// Process the trace result
if (result.Hit)
{
// Handle the hit result
}
