The FindSolidsByName syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
Name	[IN] String Required. String expression containing soild name to search.
firstOnly	[IN] Boolean Required. It determines if the searching stops when the first soild is found which is named as specified.
maxSolidCount	[IN] Long Required. The size of pSolidIDs array. (Maximum number of found soild expected.)
pSolidIDs	[OUT] RFEntityID Required. The first element of RFEntityID array to store soilds RFEntityID.

Memory storage space of pSolidIDs array needs to be allocated prior to calling this method by the size of maxSolidCount.

Note

Name of an entity is not a unique identifier. So that there can be multiple solids that have the same name.
