UserData Class

Initializes a new instance of the UserData class

Descriptive name of the user data.

If you want to save this user data in a 3dm file, override ShouldWrite and return true. If you do support serialization, you must also override the Read and Write functions.

Updated if user data is attached to a piece of geometry that is transformed and the virtual OnTransform() is not overridden. If you override OnTransform() and want Transform to be updated, then call the base class OnTransform() in your override. The default constructor sets Transform to the identity.

Expert user tool that copies user data that has a positive CopyCount from the source object to a destination object. Generally speaking you don't need to use Copy(). Simply rely on things like the copy constructors to do the right thing.

Actively reclaims unmanaged resources that this instance uses.

For derived class implementers.

This method is called with argument true when class user calls Dispose(), while with argument false when the Garbage Collector invokes the finalizer, or Finalize() method.

You must reclaim all used unmanaged resources in both cases, and can use this chance to call Dispose on disposable fields if the argument is true.

Also, you must call the base virtual method within your overriding method.

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

Passively reclaims unmanaged resources when the class user did not explicitly call Dispose().

Serves as the default hash function.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Moves the user data from objectWithUserData to a temporary data storage identified by the return Guid. When MoveUserDataFrom returns, the objectWithUserData will not have any user data.

Moves the user data.

See MoveUserDataFrom(CommonObject) for more information.

Is called when the object is being duplicated.

Is called when the object associated with this data is transformed. If you override this function, make sure to call the base class if you want the stored Transform to be updated.

Reads the content of this data from a stream archive.

Returns a string that represents the current object.

Writes the content of this data to a stream archive.
