Members

head: General element header.
pen: For internal use.
material: 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 and a2 are always equal and a1 + a2 = a on the Frame Type and Geometry tabpage of the Frame Settings Dialog.
a2: Frame contour width outside. a1 and a2 are always equal and a1 + 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 and endC 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.
