How to identify 3D or 2D Hotlink Element

Hi

 

Is there a way to identify if a hotlink element a 2D or 3D?
Right now the only way I can identify if the hotlink is a 2D or 3D is based on the HotlinkNode Source Location
(I am checking the directory folder where 2D modules are inside the 2D Folder. Something like this)

I checked the Hotlink Element and I don't think I can use the transformation parameter to detect if a hotlink is a 2d or 3d.
I manually placed a 2D and 3D hotlink in the project and upon checking the transformation parameters, both of their origin z axis (tmx[11]) are zero

Hi,

 

Sorry, there isn't any distinction between 2D and 3D in the hotlink or node structure on the API.

 

Best, Akos
