How can I get to the Z coordinate of each vertex of a Multi-Plane Roof?

I want to get the Z coordinate of each vertex of a Multi-Plane Roof.

Currently, I can get the X and Y coordinates via COORD in Element_memo, but I don't know how to get the Z coordinate.

I would appreciate any help you can give me.          

 

I use Archicad 27 API

See my images below for instructions.  If you're not seeing the z coordinates when left clicking or selecting ther point, check your Options/Work Environment.../Tracker and Coordinate Input.  Make sure the Show Z Coordinate is checked.

 

Select the point in which you want to view the Z coordinate.  It should show up in the XYZ Tracker next to your cursor.  If you're still not seeing the Z coordinate, try and using the Tab key on the keyboard after you select the point.

 

Let me know if this helps you out.

Hi. Thanks for your answer.
I am writing an addon that outputs the coordinates of elements from the Archicad API,
I meant to ask how to write the source of the addon so that I can get the Z coordinate of each vertex of a Multi-Plane Roof.
