What API methods or Struct handle Cut Operation of Opening Elements

LVirone Greisch

Hello,

 

To handle Boolean Operations we have ACAPI_Element_SolidLink methods.

 

But I don't know how "cut" Elements like Opening Elements do, can someone help ?

 

Thanks

Could you describe the context in a bit more detail? Do you want to make an arbitrary hole in an element? Or are you cutting is to fit some other element?

I created an opening (using the opening tool, the Element is a API_OpeningType). This Element cut it's owner, but it's possible to cut more Element using the same user button you use to add Boolean operations, but instead it's a "cut" operation which is not part of ACAPI_Element_SolidLink.

Any news on this ?

 

In Archicad 23 API news I found this "Currently adding new elements to an opening is not available via API" and I hope it's available in API of Archicad 28.
