Add a definition to be reused by instances. A definition is a single geometry object.

Add a definition to be reused by instances. A definition is a collection of geometry objects.

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.

A quick check whether a definition already exists in the library. Checks for stored geometry objects only.

A quick check whether a definition type already exists in the library. Checks for type objects only.

Releases all resources used by the DirectShapeLibrary

Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

Find a definition by id

Find a DirectShapeType element by definition id. The element will be used for creating instances of that definition.

Get the currently active Library object

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

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.

Returns a string that represents the current object.

Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
