Getting the gross area and frontage linear for each floor - FORMA

[helpBJ5T4]

Hello,

I am writing an embedded view  addin for Forma. I need to get the following data for each floor

- the surface of the floor 

- the height of the floor

- the fontage linear of the floor 

What is the methods to get this data from the selectedPath or selected element  ? 

Many thanks in advance,

Benoit

Hi Benoit. Cool to hear that you're writing an extension 🙂 

There are two representations that you can look at for this. The grossFloorAreaPolygon  and the experimental volume25DCollection.

When you use these representation APIs then you need to apply transforms to the geometry as described here. We also have a geometry api  and an experimental version for the volume25DCollection where the transform is already applied.  

Please let me know if you are not able to solve your case with these apis 🙂
