Example (based on pure API calls)

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

using RDF;      //  include at least engine.cs within your solution

Int64 localCreateAggrBN(Int64 instance, string 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().
    //
    Int64 instanceType = ifcengine.sdaiGetInstanceType(instance),
          attribute = ifcengine.sdaiGetAttrDefinition(instanceType, attributeName);

    return ifcengine.sdaiCreateAggr(instance, attribute);
