Parsing can be done by creating an instance of Smd with a path.
>>> from valvesmd import Smd
>>> smd = Smd('C:/modelsrc/tf/props_mining/rock005.smd')A few functions are provided to perform basic transformations.
>>> from valvesmd import *
>>> SmdScale(smd, 2) # 2x scale
>>> SmdMirror(smd, 'x') # Mirroring on 'x', 'y' or 'z' axis
>>> SmdMatReplace(smd, 'wood', 'metal') # replace a material name (without $cdmaterial and extension)
