Extract column and beam polygons

YourQS — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 19:16:01 GMT

I can happily extract polygons for elements like walls, slabs, and roofs, but I have not been able to for columns and beams. I have tried the DumpPolygon function in the examples, without much success.

Where can I find something like API_BodyType for columns and beams?

Hi, You can get column and beam polygons by columnSegments and beamSegments. Please check the examples code Do_Get3DOfClickedElem() in 3D_test.cpp.

HTH.

Hi, I'm afraid I can't find a file called 3D_test.cpp in any of the examples folder for AC26 or AC27, and I can't find a method called Do_Get3DOfClickedElem() in any of the files. Could you upload the example your are speaking of?

Hi, Sorry, it's 3D_test.c in Examples\3D_Test folder. could you check again?
