Accessing AEC Wall Style Components

[ChrisPicklesimer]

I would like to get wall component info (location & size) of a wall style.  Is this possible?    Could anyone give me a nudge in the right direction?

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

Yes, it's possible, We can access wall start & end point, wall style, size from programtically, Use .net api you can easily get the requirements.

Thanks,
Malli.

Can you elaborate a little about how to access wall style via API?

I even cant find StyleName

[nagamalliv]

public static Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.ObjectId GetWallStyleId(string name, Database db, Transaction trans)
{
Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.ObjectId wallStyleId = Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.ObjectId.Null;
DictionaryWallStyle wallStyleDict = new DictionaryWallStyle(db);

if (wallStyleDict.Has(name, trans))
{
wallStyleId = wallStyleDict.GetAt(name);
}

return (wallStyleId);
}

Thanks, but I even cannot find how to get styleName from Wall objet

I use this to get the wall style name by passing in the ID of wall object.

Snippet

    Public Function GetWallStyleName(ByVal objID As ObjectID) As String
        Dim sReturn As String = ""
 
        Dim db As Database = Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase
 
        Using tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()
            Dim objWall As Wall = CType(tr.GetObject(objID, OpenMode.ForRead, False), Wall)
            Dim styleID As ObjectID = objWall.StyleId
 
            Dim objWallStyle As WallStyle = CType(tr.GetObject(styleID, OpenMode.ForRead, False), WallStyle)
            Dim strWallStyleName As String = objWallStyle.Name
            sReturn = strWallStyleName.ToString
            tr.Commit()
        End Using
 
        Return sReturn
 
    End Function
