3D data of an element.

    typedef struct {
        UInt32        fElemIdx;
        UInt32        fBodyIdx;
        UInt32        lElemIdx;
        UInt32        lBodyIdx;
        Int32         fbody;
        Int32         lbody;
        Int32         flight;
        Int32         llight;
        Int32         filler_1[2];
        API_Box3D     bounds;
    } API_ElemInfo3D;

 

Members

fElemIdx 

It is equal to the incoming element index.

fBodyIdx 

It is always zero.

lElemIdx 

It is equal to the incoming element index.

lBodyIdx 

Index of the last body which belongs to the element. (not flat list)

fbody

Index of the first body which belongs to the element.

lbody

Index of the last body which belongs to the element.

flight

Index of the first light source which belongs to the element.

llight

Index of the last light source which belongs to the element.

bounds 

The 3D bounding box of the element.

 

Remarks

Use the ACAPI_Element_Get3DInfo function to get the 3D representation of a construction element.

Once an element is converted to 3D, it will have the following components:

• model information based on BODYs,
• lighting model based on LIGHTs; if lights are defined from the 3D GDL script,
• materials; either from the global attribute pool, or defined from the 3D GDL script.

All of the data can be accessed through the API_Component3D structure.

 

Requirements

Version: API 2.1 or later

Header: APIdefs_Elements.h
