    Parametric constraints may be defined by the user. The constraint is defined
    by first creating an objective describing the purpose of the constraint and
    whether it is a hard or soft constraint. Later on, metrics may be added to
    check whether the constraint has been met by connecting it to properties and
    quantities. See ifcopenshell.api.constraint.add_metric for more information.

    Example:

    .. code:: python

        objective = ifcopenshell.api.constraint.add_objective(model)
        objective.ConstraintGrade = "ADVISORY"

        # information purposes. You may wish to add quantiative metrics.
