Unable to obtain stretchedProfile

Thank you for your continued support.

I'm having trouble obtaining the stretchedProfile applied to a single-segment beam placed in a scene.

The API manual states that the stretchedProfile can be obtained using the ACAPI_Element_GetMemo() function,
but when I run this, no values are set to memo.stretchedProfile or memo.customOrigProfile.

I tried using APIMemoMask_All and APIMemoMask_StretchedProfile as the third argument mask, but neither worked.

I also checked assemblySegmentProfiles, but it also remains nullptr.

As described here,
I was able to obtain information about the unstretched (original) cross-sectional shape via the ACAPI_Attribute_GetDefExt() function,
but I can't seem to obtain the stretched shape.

Is it possible to obtain the stretchedProfile applied to a single-segment beam placed in a scene?

I solved it myself.

I found the answer on the official Japanese page from the past, so I'd like to share it with you.
