I can think of two ways to approach this:</P> <P>1. Check the object's parameters (in memo.params) and look at the GDL script of that object to see which parameter may contain the information you need.</P> <P>2. Get the 3D representation of the object. If you can figure out which planes of the object are the end planes (e.g., from the plane's normal vector), then you can calculate the slant angle and distance.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Best, Akos</P> Tue, 02 Jul 2024 07:39:35 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/How-to-Get-DlantAngle-SlantDirectionAngle-And-endPos-from-Object/m-p/613597#M9593 Akos Somorjai 2024-07-02T07:39:35Z
