SampleCreateIfcFooting

Overview

This programming manual in C# offers a practical demonstration of how to create an instance of the IfcFooting class within a model.

Sample code

For example:

var app = new Beaver.BcadApplication();
var doc = app.ActiveDocument;
if (doc == null)
    doc = app.Documents.Add();
var stp = doc.STEPDocument;
var IfcBuildingStorey  = stp.Instnaces.FindInstance(105);
var IfcFooting = stp.Instnaces.CreateInstance("IfcFooting"); {
	var ObjectPlacement = stp.Instnaces.CreateInstance("IfcLocalPlacement"); {
		var Relativeplacement = stp.Instnaces.CreateInstance("IfcAxis2Placement3D"); {
			var location = stp.Instnaces.CreateInstance("IfcCartesianPoint"); {
				double []values={0,0,0};
				location.Attributes.AttributeAsAggregate("coordinates").values = values;
			}
			var refdirection = stp.Instnaces.CreateInstance("IfcDirection"); {
				double []values={1.0, 0.0, 0.0};
