===== Example: Referencing Default Folders =====

Certain default folder paths can be referred to within a pipeline script. This example identifies all the CMZ files in Visual3D's default folder and all of its sub-folders:

<code>
Set_Pipeline_Parameter_To_Folder_Path
/PARAMETER_NAME=FOLDER
/PARAMETER_VALUE=VISUAL3D_DEFAULT_FOLDER
;

Set_Pipeline_Parameter_To_List_Of_Files
/PARAMETER_NAME= the name of the Pipeline Parameter created
/FOLDER= The folder from which to start the search
/SEARCH_SUBFOLDERS=TRUE
/FILE_MASK=*.cmz
;
