| DirectShapeLibrary Members |
| DirectShapeLibrary Class Methods Properties See Also |
The DirectShapeLibrary type exposes the following members.
Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AddDefinition(String, GeometryObject) |
Add a definition to be reused by instances. A definition is a single geometry object.
| |
| AddDefinition(String, IList<(Of <<'(GeometryObject>)>>)) |
Add a definition to be reused by instances. A definition is a collection of geometry objects.
| |
| AddDefinitionType |
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.
| |
| Contains |
A quick check whether a definition already exists in the library. Checks for stored geometry objects only.
| |
| ContainsType |
A quick check whether a definition type already exists in the library. Checks for type objects only.
| |
| Dispose | Releases all resources used by the DirectShapeLibrary | |
| Equals | (Inherited from Object.) | |
| FindDefinition |
Find a definition by id
| |
| FindDefinitionType |
Find a DirectShapeType element by definition id. The element will be used for creating instances of that definition.
| |
| GetDirectShapeLibrary |
Get the currently active Library object
| |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) | |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | |
| Reset |
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.
| |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Properties
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| IsValidObject |
Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
