IFC_SetEntityProp

Description

This function sets a value to the selected property of the IFC entity.

FUNCTION IFC_SetEntityProp(
				hObject        : HANDLE;
				inStrPropName  : STRING;
				inStrPropValue : STRING): BOOLEAN;

def vs.IFC_SetEntityProp(hObject, inStrPropName, inStrPropValue):
    return BOOLEAN

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
hObject	HANDLE	Handle to object
inStrPropName	STRING	Name of the property
inStrPropValue	STRING	Value of the property

Examples

Assume we have an extrude, that we want to be exported as a slab. IfcSlab has a property with enumeration value (“PredefinedType”), so it’s necessary to be set: ==== VectorScript ====

PROCEDURE Test;
VAR
	hExtrude : HANDLE;
	ok : BOOLEAN;
begin
	hExtrude := FSActLayer;
	ok := IFC_SetIFCEntity(hExtrude, 'IfcSlab');
	ok := IFC_SetEntityProp(hExtrude, 'PredefinedType', 'BASESLAB');
end;

Run(Test);

==== Python ====

hExtrude = vs.FSActLayer()
ok = vs.IFC_SetIFCEntity(hExtrude, 'IfcSlab')
ok = vs.IFC_SetEntityProp(hExtrude, 'PredefinedType', 'BASESLAB')
