API_ZoneRelID	zoneRel
	Defines the column's relation to zones (see API_ZoneRelID).
short	coreSymbolType
	Determines the display of the column on the floor plan:

	Anchor point of the core. |0|1|2| |3|4|5| |6|7|8|.
double	height
	The height of the column.
double	bottomOffset
	The column base level relative to the floor level.
double	topOffset

API_AttributeIndex	aboveViewLineType
	Linetype of the overhead lines.
short	aboveViewLinePen
	Pen index of the overhead lines.
bool	isAutoOnStoryVisibility
	If set to true, the application will automatically provide the story dependent visibility of the element (if the element is physically on a story, it will be shown on that story)
bool	isSlanted
	Defines whether the column is slanted or vertical.
bool	isFlipped
	Flipped column.
double	slantAngle
	Slant angle (in radian)

bool	useCoverFillFromSurface
	Use the fill attribute assigned to the surface material of the element.
bool	coverFillOrientationComesFrom3D
	Use cover fill orientation from 3D element view.
API_AttributeIndex	coverFillType
	Fill type of the cover fill.
short	coverFillForegroundPen
	Foreground pen of the cover fill.
short	coverFillBackgroundPen
	Background pen of the cover fill.
API_CoverFillTransformationTypeID	coverFillTransformationType
	TransformationType of the fill.
API_CoverFillTransformation	coverFillTransformation

Detailed Description

Represents a column element.

Remarks

In Archicad 17, the elements' structure type is defined with the new modelElemStructureType member. The related attribute indices are separated into buildingMaterial and profileAttr. In Archicad 17, the elements' cut fill foreground and background pens inherit from the element structure and can be overridden onthe element level. In Archicad 17, the elements' surface materials inherit from the element structure and can be overridden on the element level. For column-related memo data, see the ACAPI_Element_GetMemo function.
