IFC can describe concepts that control other objects. For example, a planning calendar controls the availability of working days for construction planning. As another example, a cost item might constrain or limit the ability to procure and build a product. This usecase lets you assign controls following the rules of the IFC specification. This is an advanced topic and assumes knowledge of the IFC concepts to determine what is allowed to control what. In the future, this API will likely be deprecated in favour of multiple usecase specific APIs. :param relating_control: The IfcControl entity that is creating the control or constraint :param related_objects: The list of IfcObjectDefinition that is being controlled :return: The newly created IfcRelAssignsToControl.
