== Create Sample Building With Geometry 
==

The GEOMETRY sample program is an IFC "hello world" program creates a
building then attaches units, contexts and an empty shape representation.  
Use this as the starting point for a more sophisticated program.

This program creates the data set and saves it as a STEP Part 21
file called "output_file.stp".  This is a text file, so you can
look at it with a text editor or the STEP Part 21 file browser to
see how the information is represented.



BUILD INSTRUCTIONS

We provide Visual Studio project for the program, as well as separate
makefiles for UNIX and Windows.  On UNIX platforms, make sure that the
ROSE/ROSE_INCLUDE/ROSE_LIB environment variables are set as described
in the installation notes.

With the Visual Studio project, compile and run the program using the
normal build mechanism.  To use the makefiles, just run make/nmake as
shown below.

        % make 		# UNIX Machines
        > nmake		# Windows Machines

When building with nmake on Windows, you must run the vcvars32 batch
file (found in the Visual Studio bin directory) to make sure that the
C++ compiler is in the command line search path.
