Example (based on pure API calls)

Here you can find code snippits that show how the API call sdaiCreateAggr can be used.

C++ 32 bit
C++ 64 bit
C# 32 bit
C# 64 bit
#include    "./include/ifcengine.h"
int_t   * localCreateAggrBN(__int64 instance, char * attributeName)
{
    //
    //  This function is an alternative to the API call sdaiCreateAggrBN()
    //  based on sdaiCreateAggr().
    //
    //  Use of sdaiCreateAggr() can lead to performance improvement compared to sdaiCreateAggrBN().
    //
    int_t   instanceType = sdaiGetInstanceType(instance);
    void    * attribute = sdaiGetAttrDefinition(instanceType, attributeName);

    return  sdaiCreateAggr(instance, attribute);
