This class is to represent the reference for design frame.

```csharp
public class ReferenceDesignFrame : ReferenceDesignSubEntity, IObservableObject, IDisposableObject, ILinkable, IObjectBase, IObject, ILinkContainer, IOwned, IHasID, IEventProvider, IHasKeyObject, ILinkContainerEvent, IVerifiable, IHistoryObjectSerializable, IAttributeContainer, IReferencable, INamed, INavigatorItem, IVisible, IReferenceAutoContactable, IAutoContactable, IBody, ITransform, IPoint, IOrientation, IDirectionContainer, IDesignParameter, IDesignFrame

```
