DG Kernel Documentation

The returned object is an interface. Its name is the type string prepended with 'I'. For an examle, a call to Create("Array_DG", ..) returns IArray_DG interface.

Exception: In x64 DG Kernel edition Create("Mesh", ..) returns IMesh64

Not all interfaces can be obtained this way. For an example, IBRepShape_DG is an abstract base interface. The object, which implements it, must be constructed as BRepSolid_DG, etc. concrete type.

The table below may be out of date after updates so it is recomended to try name of the required interface (without the leading I)

*) By default (Create method) IGeometry_DG is constructed as BRep type. To construct other types of geometry use Create2() method with params containing string item named "Type" and value one of geometry types: "BRep", "Mesh", etc. See IEntity_DG.SetGeometryType(). See an example below.

Object Create(string type)

See the comments above

Object Create1(string type, Object iParam)

iParam - a parameter specific for the requested type.

Type	Expected iParam type
"BRepEdge_DG"	ICurve_DG
"BRepWire_DG"	ICurve_DG
"BRepFace_DG"	IBRepWire_DG or IUVSurface_DG

See the comments above for the other parameters

Object Create2(string type, IDictionary_DG params)

The method allows specifying additional data for the construction. Use call similar to:
IDictionary_DG params = iObjectGenerator_DG.Create("Dictionary_DG") as IDictionary_DG;
to create the dictionary.

The first imeplemented case is: type="Geometry_DG" and params contains "Type" string with value one of geometry types: "BRep", "Mesh", etc. See IEntity_DG.SetGeometryType().

Example:

params.SetString("Type", "Mesh");
IGeometry_DG iGeom = iObjectGenerator_DG.Create2("Geometry_DG", params) as IGeometry_DG;
IMesh iMesh = iGeom as IMesh;
