Writing IFC example
All examples are build on top of the IFC Engine DLL. Although the IFC Engine DLL is written C/C++ it can be used for programs written in several programming languages (C/C++, C#, VB, VB.NET, Java).

To use the IFC Engine DLL within programming languages other then C/C++ a reference to the API calls need to be given. Within this reference mismatches between the used arguments/parameters and what is allowed in the language need to be resolved for all API calls. All this can be solved with a wrapper.

We already created this wrapper for the most common programming languages, each wrapper includes a small example. The examples are based on a plumbing IFC-file that will start searching the first distribution port that is not connected to any other port. From here the plumbing system is followed till the other end(s).
