Members

head

General element header.

contPen

Pen attribute index of the hatch contour (0 if contour is switched off).

hatchType

Subtype of the hatch.

hatchFlags

Flags to modify hatch display. See API_HatchFlags for possible values.

fillPen

Pen attribute index of the hatch fill.

fillBGPen

Pen attribute index of hatch fill background.

fillInd

Fill attribute index of the hatch.
Used only is case of API_FillHatch.

buildingMaterial

Building Material attribute index of the hatch.
Used only is case of API_BuildingMaterialHatch.

ltypeInd

Line type attribute index.

roomSpecial

Special area percent in a room (negative means OFF).

showArea

True if area text is shown (parameters in note).

determination

Fill category:

`APIHatch_DraftingFills`	Default fill category. Drafting fills adopt the Drafting Fill settings chosen in Display Options.
`APIHatch_CoverFills`	The Cover Fill category is assigned to the fills of Slabs, Roofs, Meshes and Zones on the floor plan. Cover fills adopt the Element Cover Fill settings chosen in Display Options.
`APIHatch_CutFills`	The Cut Fill category is assigned to the fills of Cut Elements. Cut fills adopt the Cut Fill settings chosen in Display Options.

Used only is case of API_FillHatch.

penWeight

Pen weight of the contour (overrides the weight defined in contPen).

note

Parameters of the area text.

poly

Polygon of the hatch element.

hatchOrientation

Orientation and distortion parameters of the cover fill.

backgroundRGB

RGB color for background painting.

foregroundRGB

RGB color for foreground painting.

Remarks

In ARCHICAD 10 the polyFill field is removed from the structure, the global, refPos and refAngle parameters are placed into a separate structure (API_HatchOrientation). Along this line, in ARCHICAD 13 the gradient fill parameters were also moved to the same structure.

In ARCHICAD 17 the hasForegroundRGB and hasBackgroundRGB parameters are placed into a separate structure (API_HatchFlags).

In ARCHICAD 20 the contPen and fillPen parameters are placed into a separate structure (API_ExtendedPenType).
