SyntaxMembers| Member name | Value | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Static | 0 | The Rhino user interface uses the term "Embedded" for Static update types. This instance definition is never updated. If m_source_archive is set, it records the origin of the instance definition geometry, but m_source_archive is never used to update the instance definition. | |
| Embedded | 1 | Obsolete. This instance definition geometry was imported from another archive (m_source_archive) and is embedded. If m_source_archive changes, the user is asked if they want to update the instance definition. | |
| LinkedAndEmbedded | 2 | This instance definition geometry was imported from another archive (m_source_archive) and is embedded. If m_source_archive changes, the instance definition is automatically updated. If m_source_archive is not available, the instance definition is still valid. | |
| Linked | 3 | This instance definition geometry was imported from another archive (m_source_archive) and is not embedded. If m_source_archive changes, the instance definition is automatically updated. If m_source_archive is not available, the instance definition is not valid. This does not save runtime memory. It may save a little disk space, but it is a foolish option requested by people who do not understand all the issues. |
