Assigning a property ID to a component in HMIN lib.

While reading a file using the HyperMesh HMIN library, I can add components and assign materials using HMIN_component_write.  How do I assign a property ID to the component?  I could not find a command in the documentation nor do I see an option in the list of function parameters:

void HMIN_component_write(HM_entityidtype id, char *name, HM_entityidtype materialid, int color);

 

Thank you.

    I was able to figure it out via trial and error.  Posting it here if someone has the question in the future.

    "HMIN_assignproperty(HM_entityidtype pid, char *PropertyName, unsigned int  propertyIdPool)" is an undocumented HMIN function.  The trick is it must be called immediately after HMIN_component_write() or HyperMesh returns an error telling you to contact HM support.
