Properties

Defining properties

The following properties are defined on the class

Name Type Description Quantity
Start Node Defines the start position of the element. Note that Nodes can contain Supports which should not be confused with Releases. -
End Node Defines the end position of the element. Note that Nodes can contain Supports which should not be confused with Releases. -
SpacerProperty SpacerProperty Spacer property of the spacer, defining the spacer type. -

Derived properties

The following properties are defined as extension methods in one of the BHoM_Engines

Name Type Description Quantity Engine
Bounds BoundingBox Queries the IElement1Ds BoundingBox. Acts on the ICurve definition of the IElement1D through the Geometry_Engine. - Spatial_Engine
Centroid Point Queries the centre of weight for a IElement1Ds ICurve representation. - Spatial_Engine
ControlPoints List<Point> Queries the control points of the one dimensional representation of the IElement1D. - Spatial_Engine
DominantVector Vector Gets the the dominant vector (orientation) of an Element1D based on its lines lengths. - Spatial_Engine
ElementCurves List<ICurve> Queries the defining curves of an IElement1D. - Spatial_Engine
ElementVertices List<Point> Returns the discontinuity points from the defining ICurve of the IElement1D. - Spatial_Engine
IArea double Queries the area of the geometrical representation of an IElement. Area [m²] Spatial_Engine
IBounds BoundingBox Queries the IElements BoundingBox. Acts on the elements geometrical definition of the IElement through the Geometry_Engine. - Spatial_Engine
ICentroid Point Queries the centre of weight for the homogeneous geometrical representation of an IElement. - Spatial_Engine
IControlPoints List<Point> Queries the control points of the geometrical representation of an IElement. - Spatial_Engine
IElementCurves List<ICurve> Queries the geometricly defining curves of the IElements geometry. - Spatial_Engine
IElements0D List<IElement0D> Queries the IElement0Ds from a IElement1D. Returns null if no IElement0Ds are defined for the type of IElement1D. - Spatial_Engine
IElementVertices List<Point> Returns the discontinuity points from the defining ICurves of the IElement. - Spatial_Engine
IGeometry ICurve Queries the defining geometrical object which all spatial operations will act on. - Spatial_Engine
IIsPlanar bool Checks whether all control points of an element lie in a single plane. - Spatial_Engine
IIsSelfIntersecting bool Checks if any of the curves defining an IElement is closer to itself than the tolerance at any two points (is self intersecting). In case of IElement2D, does not check for intersections between external and internal curves, or between different internal curves. - Spatial_Engine
IPrimaryPropertyName string Returns the name of an elements primary defining property - Facade_Engine
IsPlanar bool Checks whether all control points of an element lie in a single plane. - Spatial_Engine
IsSelfIntersecting bool Checks if the one dimensional representation of the IElement1D is closer to itself than the tolerance at any two points. - Spatial_Engine
Length double Returns the length of the IElement1Ds curve. Length [m] Spatial_Engine
