## GetGlobalMatrixArray(string, List\<Matrix4x4>)

Fetches a global matrix array into a list.

```csharp
public static void GetGlobalMatrixArray(string name, List<Matrix4x4> values)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[string]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)): The name of the property.**** (\[List\<Matrix4x4>]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.list-1)): The list to hold the returned array.

### Remarks

The list will be resized to the array size, or cleared if such property doesn't exist. Memory allocation is guaranteed not to happen during the function call.
