[gme-users] creating instance of a model

[Perdikis Dimitris]

Hi,
First of all I'm using GME 3, release r3.10.13
But CBuilderModel class has the function
CBuilderModel *CreateNewModel(CString kindName)  that takes only one
parameter.
So when i call this function, i create models that become types (archetypes)

Let's assume that i create a model "Fiat" (its kind is"Car"). How can i
create then an instance of model "Fiat"?

Thanks,
Dimitris.
