#include <APIdefs_Elements.h>

Public Attributes
API_Elem_Head	head
	General element header.
short	pen
	Pen attribute index of the slab's contour.
API_AttributeIndex	ltypeInd
	Line type attribute index of the slab's contour.
API_ModelElemStructureType	modelElemStructureType
	The structure type of the slab.
API_AttributeIndex	buildingMaterial
	Building Material index of slabs's hatch. Used only, if structure type is API_BasicStrucure.
API_AttributeIndex	composite
	Composite index of slab. Used only, if structure type is API_CompositeStructure.
short	sectContPen
	Contour pen attribute index of the slab's fill in sections.
API_OverriddenPen	cutFillPen
	Cut fill pens set in the used structure (building material, composite) can be overridden on the element level.
API_OverriddenPen	cutFillBackgroundPen
	Cut fill pens set in the used structure (building material, composite) can be overridden on the element level.
API_OverriddenAttribute	topMat
	Top material attribute override structure.
API_OverriddenAttribute	sideMat
	Side material attribute override structure.
API_OverriddenAttribute	botMat
	Bottom material attribute override structure.
bool	materialsChained
	Are surface materials chained?.
double	thickness
	Thickness of the slab.
double	level
	Distance of the reference level of the slab from the floor level.
API_AttributeIndex	hiddenContourLineType
	Line type of the slab's Hidden Contour.
short	hiddenContourLinePen
	Pen of the slab's Hidden Contour line.
API_AttributeIndex	sectContLtype
	Line type attribute index of the slab's section contour.
API_SlabReferencePlaneLocationID	referencePlaneLocation
	Location of the reference plane.
bool	useFloorFill
	Use cover fill?
API_StoryVisibility	visibilityCont
	Visibility of slab's contour line. On the element's own story the contour should allways be visible.
API_StoryVisibility	visibilityFill
	Visibility of slab's cover fill.
API_LinkToSettings	linkToSettings
	Mode of linking to home story.
short	floorFillPen
	Pen attribute index of slab's cover fill.
short	floorFillBGPen
	Background pen attribute index of the slab's cover fill.
API_AttributeIndex	floorFillInd
	Fill attribute index of the slab's cover fill.
bool	use3DHatching
	Use Vectorial 3D Hatch patterns in Floor Plan view? This will apply the Vectorial 3D Hatch set for the element's top side material.
double	offsetFromTop
	Vertical distance between the reference level and the top of the slab (output only), see API_SlabReferencePlaneLocationID.
API_Polygon	poly
	Polygon of the slab.
API_HatchOrientation	hatchOrientation
	Orientation and distortion parameters of the cover fill.

Detailed Description

Represents a slab element.

Remarks

For slab related memo data see the ACAPI_Element_GetMemo function. In Archicad 10 the useLocalOrigo, locOrigo and fillAngle fields are placed into a separate structure (API_HatchOrientation). The type of the elements' structure is defined with the new modelElemStructureType member. The related attribute indices are separated into buildingMaterial and composite. The composite index is a non-negative index. The elements' cut fill foreground and background pens inherit from the element structure, and can be overridden on the element level. The elements' surface materials inherit from the element structure, and can be overridden on the element level.
