Take a look at the ModelAccess API. There is an example called ModelAccess_Test. There doesn't appear to be any documentation though.

If this isn't suitable, you can still use the old 3D Manager, e.g ACAPI_Element_Get3DInfo.

How to get the extrude profiles from a wall element. All we can get is polygons, edges & vertices. We need to get extrude profiles etc. It is possible to get extrude profile information's ??

The extrusion profile(s) for a wall with a custom profile can be retrieved from the profile attributes. Take a look at the documentation for API_ProfileAttrType and API_AttributeDefExt. You will need to calculate an extrusion profile for other types of walls, i.e. the API won't give you one.
