public const string enginedll = @"engine.dll";

[DllImport(enginedll, EntryPoint = "engiGetEntityCount")]

			if (IntPtr.Size == 4)

				var _result = x86_engiGetEntityCount((Int32)model);
				return _result;

Property model

Size: 32 bit / 4 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.
