Powerpoint missing some models

[Vision-1776]

Below is a link to the official Microsoft reference for Powerpoint. The netoffice dll is missing this model.
Shape.Model3D property (PowerPoint) on version NetOfficeFw.Powerpoint 1.8.1

Also Im curious as to how these libraries get created? Are they using reflection to stay up to date on any new models introduced by Microsoft or are these needing to be manually updated by your team each time Microsoft introduces anything new?

Hi @Vision-1776,
yes, there are few recently added APIs which are not covered by NetOffice yet:

What's new for VBA in Office 2016
What's new for VBA in Office 2019

Minor changes to the API are committed manually.

NetOffice as a whole was generated using LateBindingApi.CodeGenerator. This tool captures API from COM libraries and can generate C# code which uses late binding to call COM interfaces.

Unfortunately, the CodeGenerator does not generate the latest NetOffice code. There is ongoing effort in the dev/NetOffice174 branch to update CodeGenerator so it can generate source code matching the NetOffice 1.7.4.

You are welcome to collaborate :)

I think the easy to work on are updates to enums and some properties which can be easily matched between COM and C#. The most complicated are new coclasses and events.
