Members
- framesLength
- Sum of all contained frame’s length.
- contourFramesLength
- Sum of the lengths of contour frames.
- mainaxisFramesLength
- Sum of the lengths of the frames belong to the main axis (vertical)
- secaxisFramesLength
- Sum of the lengths of the frames belong to the secondary axis (horizontal)
- customFramesLength
- Sum of the lengths of the custom frames. (
custommeans in this case: diagonal frame inside the cell) - panelsSurface
- Sum of all contained panel’s surface. Equal to the sum of
panelsSurfaceN, panelsSurfaceS...and equal to the sum ofsurfacevalues in the API_CWPanelQuantity structure. - panelsSurfaceN
- Sum of those panel’s surface wich normal vector points to north.
- panelsSurfaceS
- Sum of those panel’s surface wich normal vector points to south.
- panelsSurfaceE
- Sum of those panel’s surface wich normal vector points to east.
- panelsSurfaceW
- Sum of those panel’s surface wich normal vector points to west.
- panelsSurfaceNE
- Sum of those panel’s surface wich normal vector points to north-east.
- panelsSurfaceNW
- Sum of those panel’s surface wich normal vector points to north-west.
- panelsSurfaceSE
- Sum of those panel’s surface wich normal vector points to south-east.
- panelsSurfaceSW
- Sum of those panel’s surface wich normal vector points to south-west.
- contourSurface
- Surface bordered by contour.
- boundarySurface

- Surface bordered by boundary frames.
- length
- Length of the curtain wall.
- height
- Height of the curtain wall.
- slantAngle
- Slant angle of curtain wall.
- numOfPanels
- The number of panels belong to the Curtain Wall.
Remarks
See also the curtain wall parameters for listing in Appendix A of the GDL Reference manual.
