Members

head: General element header.
pen: Pen attribute index of the slab’s contour.
ltypeInd: Line type attribute index of the slab’s contour.
modelElemStructureType: The structure type of the slab.
buildingMaterial: Building Material index of slabs’s hatch. Used only, if structure type is API_BasicStrucure.
composite: Composite index of slab. Used only, if structure type is API_CompositeStructure.
penOverride: Cut fill pens set in the used structure (building material, composite) can be overridden on the element level.
sectContPen: Contour pen attribute index of the slab’s fill in sections.
topMat: Top material attribute override structure.
sideMat: Side material attribute override structure .
botMat: Bottom material attribute override structure.
materialsChained: Are surface materials chained?.
thickness: Thickness of the slab.
level: Distance of the reference level of the slab from the floor level.
hiddenContourLineType
hiddenContourLinePen
useFloorFill: Use cover fill?
sectContLtype: Line type attribute index of the slab’s section contour.
referencePlaneLocation: Location of the reference plane.
visibilityCont: Visibility of slab’s contour line. On the element’s own story the contour should allways be visible.
visibilityFill: Visibility of slab’s cover fill.
linkToSettings: Mode of linking to home story.
floorFillPen: Pen attribute index of slab’s cover fill.
floorFillBGPen: Background pen attribute index of the slab’s cover fill.
floorFillInd: Fill attribute index of the slab’s cover fill.
use3DHatching: Use Vectorial 3D Hatch patterns in Floor Plan view? This will apply the Vectorial 3D Hatch set for the element’s top side material.
offsetFromTop: Vertical distance between the reference level and the top of the slab (output only), see API_SlabReferencePlaneLocationID.
poly: Polygon of the slab.
hatchOrientation: Orientation and distortion parameters of the cover fill.

Remarks

For slab related memo data see the ACAPI_Element_GetMemo function.

In Archicad 10 the useLocalOrigo, locOrigo and fillAngle fields are placed into a separate structure (API_HatchOrientation).

In Archicad 17 the type of the elements’ structure is defined with the new modelElemStructureType member. The related attribute indices are separated into buildingMaterial and composite. The composite index is a non-negative index.

In Archicad 17 the the elements’ cut fill foreground and background pens inherit from the element structure, and can be overridden on the element level.

In Archicad 17 the the elements’ surface materials inherit from the element structure, and can be overridden on the element level.
