[SOLVED] Create Stairs using C++ API

Anonymous — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 13:45:08 GMT

Hey there, I wasn't able to find a structure on the C++ API that can represent the stairs that is used on the graphical interface of ArchiCAD. I thought it would be in API_Element, just like walls, windows and the other elements.

Is there any way of creating stairs using C++ API?

A stair is simply an object, so you would use API_ObjectType. The one difference is specifying the correct object tool. Do this by setting the head.variationID to APIVarId_SymbStair.
