Name Type Description Quantity Engine
Area double Queries the IElement2Ds area defined as the area confined by the outline curves subtracting the area of the internal elements. Area [m²] Spatial_Engine
Bounds BoundingBox Queries the IElement2Ds BoundingBox. Acts on the element curve definition of the IElement2D through the Geometry_Engine. - Spatial_Engine
Centroid Point Queries the centre of area for a IElement2Ds surface representation. For an IElement2D with homogeneous material and thickness this will also be the centre of weight. - Spatial_Engine
ControlPoints List<Point> Queries the control points of the element curve representation of the IElement2D. - Spatial_Engine
DominantVector Vector Gets the the dominant vector (orientation) of an Element2D based on its lines lengths. - Spatial_Engine
ElementCurves List<ICurve> Queries the geometricly defining curves of the IElement2Ds surface. - Spatial_Engine
ElementVertices List<Point> Returns the discontinuity points from the defining ICurves of the IElement2D. - Spatial_Engine
ExternalElementCurves List<ICurve> Queries the geometricly defining external curves of the IElement2Ds surface. - Spatial_Engine
Geometry ICurve Gets the geometry of a IRegion as its Perimiter curve. Method required for automatic display in UI packages. - Analytical_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

IInternalElements2D List<IElement2D> Queries the IElement2Ds internal IElement2Ds. Returns a empty list for objects without definied internal elements - 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
INewInternalElement2D IElement2D Creates a IElement2D of a type which can be assigned to the IElement2D. - Spatial_Engine
InternalElementCurves List<ICurve> Queries the geometricly defining internal curves, such as Openings, of the IElement2Ds surface. - Spatial_Engine
InternalOutlineCurves List<PolyCurve> Queries the IElement2Ds internal IElement2Ds outline curves. - Spatial_Engine
IOutlineElements1D List<IElement1D> Returns every IElement1D which makes up the exterior perimeter of the IElement2D. - Spatial_Engine
IPrimaryPropertyName string Returns the name of an elements primary defining construction property - Facade_Engine
IsNull bool Checks if a ReinforcementRegion is null and outputs relevant error message. - Structure_Engine
IsPlanar bool Checks whether all control points of an element lie in a single plane. - Spatial_Engine
IsSelfIntersecting bool Checks if any of the element curves of the IElement2D is closer to itself than the tolerance at any two points. Does not check for intersections between external and internal curves, or between different internal curves. - Spatial_Engine
Normal Vector Returns the normal to the IElement2D which is perpendicular to its plane and oriented according to the right hand rule in relation to the outline curve. - Spatial_Engine
