Get profile wall's nominal height

Hello all, so I need to get this nominal height of a profile wall - any ideas?

Total height is reported in wall.height

Cheers and good coding!

Hi ,

when you open your complex profile you have the option Nominal Height, turn it on.

Then you have an insertion point in your complex profie. The lowest edge of your complex profile should be in line with it.

Then the height of your complex profile has to match 2482,9, the nominal height option will help you.

Generally, try to think that your comlex profile is in a rectangle. The edge of this rectangle start where you have the insertion point and the height of this rectangle has to match your nominal height.

Greetings,

Matteo.

Just an idea.

I guess, the nominal heigh is a parameter of a profile atribute.

Schematically

API_AttributeDefExt defs; ApiClearIt(defs); GSErrCode err = ACAPI_Attribute_GetDefExt(API_ProfileID, wall.profileAttr, &defs ); if (err != NoError || defs.profile_vectorImageItems == nullptr ) return; Box2DData nominal_box; ProfileVectorImageOperations::GetNominalBounds(*defs.profile_vectorImageItems, nominal_box); double nominal_height = nominal_box.GetHeight();
