What's ModelerAPI::Element::GetGenId() ?

When looking at some headers of the SDK, it looks like a GenId might refer to a "Genral Unique Id".

But, still, what's a GenId, and since elements can already return a GS::Guid, what purpose might it serve?

Hi,

Well noted

This is basically a counter, used internally to compare elements (if I remember well instances of the same model element can be found this way).

Best, Akos
