DirectShapeLibrary Methods

Name Return Type Description Inherited From
M AddDefinition(String, GeometryObject) None Add a definition to be reused by instances. A definition is a single geometry object.
M AddDefinition(String, IList<GeometryObject>) None Add a definition to be reused by instances. A definition is a collection of geometry objects.
M AddDefinitionType(String, ElementId) None Add a definition to be reused by instances. Adding a definition type will change how the instances are created. When asked to create a definition, the library object will look for a corresponding type object. If one is found, it will create an instance of geometry stored in the type object. If it is not found, the library will look for a list of geometry objects stored as definition, and will copy and transform these to create an instance.
M Contains(String) Boolean A quick check whether a definition already exists in the library. Checks for stored geometry objects only.
M ContainsType(String) Boolean A quick check whether a definition type already exists in the library. Checks for type objects only.
M Dispose() None
M Equals None Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object ) Object
M FindDefinition(String) IList<GeometryObject> Find a definition by id
M FindDefinitionType(String) ElementId Find a DirectShapeType element by definition id. The element will be used for creating instances of that definition.
M GetDirectShapeLibrary(Document) DirectShapeLibrary Get the currently active Library object
M GetHashCode None Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object ) Object
M GetType None Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object ) Object
M Reset() None Removes all definitions from library. This is useful when importing several self-contained data sets within one session. Once a data set is imported, keeping the definitions specific to that data set will slow down the searches.
M ToString None Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object ) Object
