Example (based on pure API calls)
Here you can find code snippits that show how the API call setStringUnicode can be used.
using RDF; // include at least engine.cs within your solution ifcengine.setStringUnicode(1); // Normal to define this early, even before opening the model ... ... // // Created result when stored as IFC: // #31313 = IFCPOSTALADDRESS($, $, $, $, ('RDF Ltd.', 'Main Office'), '32', 'Bankya', 'Sofia', '1320', 'Bulgaria'); // Int64 ifcPostalAddressInstance = ifcengine.sdaiCreateInstanceBN(model, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes("IFCPOSTALADDRESS")); Int64 addressLines = ifcengine.sdaiCreateAggrBN(ifcPostalAddressInstance, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes("AddressLines")); ifcengine.sdaiAppend(addressLines, ifcengine.sdaiUNICODE, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes("RDF Ltd.")); ifcengine.sdaiAppend(addressLines, ifcengine.sdaiUNICODE, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes("Main Office")); ifcengine.sdaiPutAttrBN(ifcPostalAddressInstance, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes("PostalBox"), ifcengine.sdaiSTRING, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("32")); // It is allowed to mix sdaiUNICODE and sdaiSTRING ifcengine.sdaiPutAttrBN(ifcPostalAddressInstance, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes("Town"), ifcengine.sdaiUNICODE, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes("Bankya")); // as long as each call is consitent in itself. ifcengine.setStringUnicode(0); // Possible but something that normally would not happen ifcengine.sdaiPutAttrBN(ifcPostalAddressInstance, "Region", ifcengine.sdaiSTRING, "Sofia"); // It is allowed to mix sdaiUNICODE and sdaiSTRING ifcengine.sdaiPutAttrBN(ifcPostalAddressInstance, "PostalCode", ifcengine.sdaiUNICODE, "1320"); // as long as each call is consitent in itself. ifcengine.setStringUnicode(1); // Possible but something that normally would not happen ifcengine.sdaiPutAttrBN(ifcPostalAddressInstance, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes("Country"), ifcengine.sdaiUNICODE, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes("Bulgaria"));
