Preview CATpart & CATproduct in external VB NET form

[tomtom12]

I am either missing some documentation or this does not exist - how can I get Catia file preview?

In ideal case it would be 3D preview but thumbnail would be also great.

I searched for hours today and haven't found a single script example.

Is it really so difficult or am I having bad Friday?

What does "get" mean? As an array of bytes or printed on a t-shirt? What do you mean by 3D preview?

'get' as in 'read from file' I suppose

When in Catia opening the part, you get little preview on the side, that's what I would like to replicate in my own VB form.
