XKTMetaObject

A meta object within an XKTModel.

These are plugged together into a parent-child hierarchy to represent structural metadata for the XKTModel.

The leaf XKTMetaObjects are usually associated with an XKTEntity, which they do so by sharing the same ID, ie. where XKTMetaObject#metaObjectId == XKTEntity#entityId.

Created by XKTModel#createMetaObject
Stored in XKTModel#metaObjects and XKTModel#metaObjectsList
Has an ID, a type, and a human-readable name
May have a parent XKTMetaObject
When no children, is usually associated with an XKTEntity

public metaObjectId: String source

Unique ID of this XKTMetaObject in XKTModel#metaObjects.

For a BIM model, this will be an IFC product ID.

If this is a leaf XKTMetaObject, where it is not a parent to any other XKTMetaObject, then this will be equal to the ID of an XKTEntity in XKTModel#entities, ie. where XKTMetaObject#metaObjectId == XKTEntity#entityId.

public metaObjectName: string source

Indicates the XKTMetaObject meta object name.

This defaults to XKTMetaObject#metaObjectId.

public metaObjectType: string source

Indicates the XKTMetaObject meta object type.

This defaults to "default".

public parentMetaObjectId: String source

The parent XKTMetaObject, if any.

Will be null if there is no parent.

public propertySetIds: String[] source

Unique ID of one or more property sets that contains additional metadata about this XKTMetaObject. The property sets can be stored in an external system, or within the XKTModel, as XKTPropertySets within XKTModel#propertySets.
