"""Unassigns a product from its aggregate
A product (i.e. a smaller part of a whole) may be aggregated into zero
or one larger space or element. This function will remove that
aggregation relationship.
As all physical IFC model elements must be part of a hierarchical tree
called the "spatial decomposition", using this function will remove the
product from that tree. This is a dangerous operation and may result in
the product no longer being visible in IFC applications.
If the product is not part of an aggregation relationship, nothing will
happen.
:param product: The part of the aggregate, typically an IfcElement or
IfcSpatialStructureElement subclass
:type product: ifcopenshell.entity_instance
:return: The IfcRelAggregate relationship instance, only returned if the
whole still contains any other parts.
:rtype: ifcopenshell.entity_instance.entity_instance, None
Example::
element = ifcopenshell.api.run("root.create_entity", model, ifc_class="IfcSite")
subelement1 = ifcopenshell.api.run("root.create_entity", model, ifc_class="IfcBuilding")
subelement2 = ifcopenshell.api.run("root.create_entity", model, ifc_class="IfcBuilding")
ifcopenshell.api.run("aggregate.assign_object", model, product=subelement1, relating_object=element)
ifcopenshell.api.run("aggregate.assign_object", model, product=subelement2, relating_object=element)
# The relationship is returned as element still has subelement2
rel = ifcopenshell.api.run("aggregate.unassign_object", model, product=subelement1)
# Nothing is returned, as element is now empty
ifcopenshell.api.run("aggregate.unassign_object", model, product=subelement2)
