Overview

Provides access to material data in such a way that isolates you from running
within a Grail Embedded environment inside MS3D or from the command line.

Function
--------


:df:`get_vbm_code(project_path, material_name)`

   Returns the VBM code with the given :a:`material_name` for the supplied :a:`project_path`.

   The :a:`project_path` should point to the directory containing the _msresource directory,
   and the :a:`material_name` should be the material you wish to inspect.

   This takes care to load the material correctly if you are within the project, in MS3D
   or not.

:df:`get_model_code(project_path, material_name)`

   Returns the model code with the given :a:`material_name` for the supplied :a:`project_path`.

   The :a:`project_path` should point to the directory containing the _msresource directory,
   and the :a:`material_name` should be the material you wish to inspect.

   This takes care to load the material correctly if you are within the project, in MS3D
   or not.
