Members
- head
- General element header.

- Material index of the surface.
- useOwnMaterial
- Use own material or materials defined in the library part (in case of GDL based frame)?
- d
- Panel connection hole depth.
- w
- Panel connection hole width.
- a1
- Frame contour width inside.
a1
anda2
are always equal anda1 + a2 = a
on the Frame Type and Geometry tabpage of the Frame Settings Dialog. - a2
- Frame contour width outside.
a1
anda2
are always equal anda1 + a2 = a
on the Frame Type and Geometry tabpage of the Frame Settings Dialog. - b1
- Frame contour length inside.
b1 = b - h
on the Frame Type and Geometry tabpage of the Frame Settings Dialog. - b2
- Frame contour length outside.
b2 = h
on the Frame Type and Geometry tabpage of the Frame Settings Dialog. - angle
- Frame angle.
- objectType
- Type of the frame. See API_CWFrameObjectType.
- category
- Category of the frame. See API_CWFrameCategory.
- connPriority
- The priority of the frame in 3D intersections on a 1 to 19 scale.
- owner
- Owner Curtain Wall.
- tag
- Object identifier if the frame is GDL based.
- hasTag
- True if the frame is GDL based.
- begC
- First point of the frame’s reference line.
- endC
- Second point of the frame’s reference line.
- orientation
- Orientation of the frame. This vector is always perpendicular to the vector defined by
begC
andendC
coordinates. - joinedCWFramesBegCNum
- Number of frames joined at
begC
. - joinedCWFramesEndCNum
- Number of frames joined at
endC
. - assocCWPanelsNum
- Number of associated panels – one frame border two panels.
- gridLineIDsNum
- Number of identifier of the original GridMeshEdges in case of CoreFrame.
- auxPanelDirsNum
- Number of additional panel clamping vectors.
- contourID
- Contour ID for contour frames other has invalid value.
Remarks
The Curtain Wall is a hierarchical (system) element consisting of Frame, Panel, Accessory and Junction components: these are the Members of the Curtain Wall, arranged on a Base Surface according to a pre-defined scheme.
Requirements
- Version: API 12.0 or later
