On the docs it tells you this command "*uses output arguments*" and "*returns
an ISIVTCollection which you can use to get the output arguments*".
What this means is you can do:
var dr_obj = ExtractFromComponents("ExtractPolygonsOp", "", detachName,
true, siImmediateOperation, siKeepGenOpInputs, null)("OutputObjs")(0)
The (0) bit is because ("OutputObjs") returns a collection, but if you're
only doing this for 1 mesh, it'll be just 1 object, thus (0) gets the first
and only item in it.
