      | :c:enum:`~A3DStatus` A3DRiRepresentationItemDeepCopy(*const* :c:type:`~A3DRiRepresentationItem`\ * **pRi**\ , :c:type:`~A3DRiRepresentationItem`\ ** **ppNewRi**\ )
   
   Create a new representation item by making a deep copy. 
   
   
   
   Representation item data are copied, except coordinate system and surface are shared for optimization as for the rest of the model. There are some limitations: 
   
   
   - ID is reset to 0, but topological item ids are kept. 
   - Stored links are lost when a representation item is copied independently of the rest of the model. It's up to the user to create new ones. An entity reference sets to describe the link between a datum plane and a body plane face will be removed. 
   - Drawing block is not implemented. 
   - Feature data on TfSet are not copied.
   
   **Returns**
   
   
      ``A3D_SUCCESS`` on success, or an error code on failure
