ConvHatchToPoly missing from AC 13 DevKit

Anonymous
Not applicable
ArchiCAD 12 DevKit has ConvHatchToPoly function in vectorimagedata.h

I cannot find it from ArchiCAD 13 DevKit. What to do??

I have used it in conversion of VectorImage profiles:

1. Find Hatch from VectorImage using ConstVectorImageIterator

2. Convert the hatch to Geometry::Polygon2DData using ConvHatchToPoly

3. Convert the Polygon2DData to coordinates using Geometry::Polygon2DDataToPolyline

I'm not sure what happened to those functions, but you can achieve the same results using ACAPI_Element_ShapePrims

Thanks for the fast answer. What should I pass as elemHead when I want to extract the points of a beam profile which profileType is APISect_Poly?

ACAPI_Element_ShapePrims definition:

    GSErrCode  ACAPI_Element_ShapePrims (
        const API_Elem_Head&     elemHead,
        ShapePrimsProc*           shapePrimsProc
    );

Sorry, misunderstood what you are trying to do. Have you looked at the 'Attribute_Test' project in the API examples? This shows how you gain access to all the primitives in the vector image. You can extract the coordinates for hatches using the Sy_HatchType structure.

In ArchiCAD 13 DevKit ConvHatchToPoly is moved to ProfileAdditionalInfo.hpp

Didn't find the answer?
