The HOOPS 3D Part Viewer (3DPV) is a Windows MFC application built on top of the HOOPS/3dGS and HOOPS/MVO components. Use the 3D Part Viewer which you can build as a sample application, for troubleshooting and creating reproducible testcases for support (i.e. independent of your application code).

The 3DPV has a CSolidHoopsView class (cf. CSolidHoopsView.cpp) where m_pHView is a member. This is a pointer to an HBaseView object (cf. https://docs.techsoft3d.com/3df/latest/tech_overview/mvo_technical_overview.html#hbaseview ).

The CSolidHoopsView class has methods call OnExtraSlotN where N = {1,2,3,4,5}. The code I provided uses this mechanism.

void CSolidHoopsView::OnExtraSlot1() { HC_Open_Segment_By_Key(m_pHView->GetModelKey());

When using the 3DPV, you can choose “Slot N” from the DEBUG menu to execute this code.

The linked documentation provides many details not duplicated here.
