Model:GetSurface() not exposed to Lua?

[Rastar]

I am trying to get the first surface of a model

 

patch:GetSurface(0)

 

but only get

 

attempt to call method 'GetSurface' (a nil value)

 

Is that not exposed to Lua?

Default exmaple seems to work : http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/documentation/_/command-reference/model/modelgetsurface-r344

 

(if you exchange barabarian with the crawler)..

Ah,

 

it seems GetSurface() is not available for an instanced model. So

 

local model = Model:Create()
model:AddSurface()
local surface = model:GetSurface(0)

 

run fine, but the following

 

local model2 = model:Instance()
local surf2 = model2:GetSurface(0)

 

gives the described error.

Abit late now perhaps, but this would work to use methods on the instanced one.

 

local model2 = model:Instance()
model2 = tolua.cast(model2,"Model") 
local surf2 = model2:GetSurface(0)

Model:Instance() returns an Entity object, which needs to be cast to a model.
