ImportModelW

This function imports a design tree on location fileName.
The design tree will be added to the given existing model.
The return value contains the first instance not referenced by any other instance or zero if it does not exist. In case the imported model is created with SaveInstanceTree() this instance is unique and equal to the instance used within the call SaveInstanceTree().

Syntax

//   Visual Studio for Windows
public:
__int64 __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall ImportModelW(
            __int64             model,
            const wchar_t       * fileName
        );

//   Linux, OS-X and non-Visual Studio Windows solutions
public:
int64_t ImportModelW(
            int64_t             model,
            const wchar_t       * fileName
        );

Property model

Size: 64 bit / 8 byte (value)
The handle to the model. The model handle is static during its existance. Several models can be opened simultaniously within one session. Different models are always independent, threads are allowed to be running on different models simultaniously.

Property fileName

Size: 32 bit / 4 byte (reference)
The file name of the file as available in the file system in Unicode (wchar_t *). The given wchar_t array will not be adjusted. The size of each wchar_t element is depending on the OS, both 16 bit / 2 bytes wchar_t elements as well as 32 bit / 4 byte wchar_t elements are recognized and supported.
