Return skins of walls

Good day everyone, I have a problem with returning a data about the skins of a wall in Archicad.

I have checked these links but they didn't give me much of information:

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/How-to-get-wall-materials-and-thicknesses-using-A...


I wonder if there is a pseudo code of how the information about the skins of the wall could be extracted. I am a bit unsure of how the attributes and data are stored at backed of Archicad, soooo... yeah.

Any help will be appreciated!

Every wall only has one 'layer' that it belongs to.

I am assuming you are wanting information on the wall 'skins'?

If so, let me know and I will edit your post - or you can edit it yourself (3 dots to the top right of post).

Hi. Sorry for the confusion.

For example I have these, what I thought to be, the wall "layers".

I want to find a way to return them via the API if possible

Layers are what you place the elements in when you model.

Composites are made up of skins.

Archicad Composite Structure Skin = Revit Compound Structure Layer. There are some others like Archicad Layout = Revit Sheet, Archicad Label = Revit Tag, or Archicad Zone = Revit Room, there are probably more.
