Detailed Description

Definition of a Library Part section.

Remarks

A Library Part is composed of several sections. Each section has an owner, a signature versioning information and data bytes. This data structure is designed to hold the available section headers. The built in section types (that can be interpreted by Archicad) are:

Section type	Meaning
API_SectParamDef	Parameter section type
API_Sect1DScript	1D script section type
API_Sect2DDraw	2D binary (draw) section type
API_Sect2DScript	2D script section type
API_Sect3DScript	3D script section type
API_SectPRScript	Properties script section type
API_SectUIScript	User Interface script section type
API_SectVLScript	Value List script section type
API_Sect3DBinData	3D binary section type
API_SectPropData	Properties section type
API_SectComText	Comment text section type
API_SectInfoPict	Info picture section type (PICT format)
API_SectInfoGIF	Info picture section type (GIF format)

||| | API_SectGDLPict | Pictures referenced from the GDL (GIF format) | | API_SectSubKind | Symbol SubKind data section type | | API_SectCompDef | Component section type | | API_SectDescDef | Descriptor section type | ||| | API_SectCalledMacros | Called macros section type | | API_SectAncestors | Ancestor for subtyping | ||| | API_SectFWMScript | Forward migration script section type | | API_SectBWMScript | Backward migration script section type | | API_SectMigrTable | Migration table section type | | API_SectLibPartURL | BIMcomponents.com URL | | API_SectCopyright | Copyright information for BIMcomponents.com elements | | API_SectKeywords | Lists keywords for searching | If the sectType field (a four-character case-sensitive identifier) does not match any types listed above, it is interpreted as a custom type. In this case the owner application is responsible for the content and the management of the section data. This structure is used by many Library Part Manager functions as a parameter. More detailed information on the standard Library Part sections can be found in the Archicad Reference Manual.
