Members

head

General element header.

openingBase

Common part of windows, doors and skylights (see API_OpeningBaseType).

owner

Reference to the container roof or shell.

vertexID

For polyroofs it is the ID of the vertex of the pivot polygon. For plane roofs it is always 0.

fixMode

Defines how the skylight is constrained in case the angle or the vertical position of the owner roof or shell changes (see API_SkylightFixModeID).

anchorPosition 

The point that the position of the skylight object is anchored by (see API_SkylightAnchorID).

anchorPosition

The global XY cooordinate of the anchor point (see fixPoint)

anchorLevel

The global Z coordinate of the anchor point.

azimuthAngle

The rotation angle measured clockwise in the horizontal plane.

elevationAngle

The elevation angle of the roof at the insert position.

Remarks

For skylight related memo data see the ACAPI_Element_GetMemo function.
