Transformation parameters for elements.

Members

typeID

the operation code

withDelete

delete the target element after the operation (drag or drag a copy)

topNodeStretched

the upper node must be edited in case of vertical stretching

origC

the origo; used for mirror and rotate

begC

the start point of the edit vector; this is the reference point

endC

the end point of the edit vector; generally this is the second click in Archicad

endC2

additional vector end point; used for mirror

 

Remarks

Generally you have to think about the coordinates in the same way you should click in Archicad to perform the same operation. For example in case of rotation you have to set the origC field to the origo, the begC and endC fields to the start and end points of the rotation angle.

The origo does not have vertical information, it just specifies the center of rotation. Other coordinates have a z component; its difference will specify the elevation factor; additive to the original operation.

This structure is used by the ACAPI_Element_Edit function.
