Get property of a parent class?

[CEdwardsUN5MX]

I'm trying to figure out, with no success, how to get the Location property of a Coordination Model in Python.

The class is DirectShape, which is a child class of Element Class that does have a location property, but I've no idea how to get the property that should be inherited from it.

Can someone give me an idea how this is done?

You could cast the DirectShape to an Element object and query its Location property. However, I doubt that will be of any use, since it is probably not populated at all, and hence will return null. Afaik, the only location information you can retrieve from a direct shape is via its geometry, e.g., vertices etc.
