Retrieves the User Id from a Wall (see attached picture)

Hi.

I'm retreaving information from an archicad drawing using C++. I can read for example the length of a wall using the API-funktion: ACAPI_Element_GetQuantities(...).

How can I get the "User Id" value? See attatched picture

Take a look at the documentation for 'ACAPI_Element_Get'. You can use this function to retrieve a data structure called 'API_Element'. If the element is a wall, the user ID would be 'wall.info' in the API_Element structure.

It's in the 'info' member of the API_WallType data structure.
