Just wondering if there's any difference between these two checks:
if(ob->IsInstanceOf(Opolygon))
AND
if(ob->GetType() == Opolygon)
Is there any case where an object's instance and type differ?

The difference is that with GetType() you check the object type, where with IsInstance you from which class the object is derived from. For instance checking for Ocube is possible but there is no CubeObject or something like this. Also there are objects that are derived from PolygonObject but not of type Opolygon, for instance the Joint object. So if you want to find out if the object is really a polyogn object use GetType() == Opolygon.
