Arch

Notes

BuildingParts have a built-in, implicit Arch SectionPlane.

This plane is always parallel to the BuildingPart's base plane, but you can specify the offset between them. So all tools that work with a section plane, such as Draft Shape2DView and TechDraw ArchView also work with BuildingParts.

See also: Property View.

An Arch BuildingPart object is derived from an App GeoFeature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data

Base

• DateGroup (LinkList): List of referenced objects.
• Date (Hidden)_ Group Touched (Bool)

Building Part

• DateArea (Area): The computed floor area of this object. Area will be counted only for the object's children that are either Arch Spaces or other Arch BuildingPart objects. This allows for instance a parent Arch Building (which is based on Arch BuildingPart) to provide the cumulative area of all its Arch Floor children (also based on Arch BuildingPart), provided the floors contain Arch Spaces.
• DateHeight (Length): The height of this object, and of its children objects. The children objects could be, for example, Arch Walls. Each wall's height must be set to 0 (zero), so the height property of the BuildingPart propagates to the objects inside of it.
• DateLevel Offset (Length): The level of the (0,0,0) point of this level. This value is added to the Placement.Base.z attribute of the BuildingPart, to indicate a vertical offset without actually moving the object. The resulting offset is displayed if VizualizareShow Level is true.
• Date (Hidden)Materials Table (Map): A MaterialName:SolidIndexesList map that relates material names with solid indexes to be used when referencing this object from other files.
• DateOnly Solids (Bool): If true, only solids will be collected by this object when referenced from other files.
• Date (Hidden)Saved Inventor (FileIncluded): This property stores an inventor representation for this object.
• Date (Hidden)Shape (PartShape): The shape of this object.

Children

• DateHeight Propagate (Bool): If true, the height value propagates to contained objects. See the DateHeight property for additional conditions that apply.

IFC

• Date (Hidden)Ifc Data (Map): IFC data.
• Date (Hidden)Ifc Properties (Map): IFC properties of this object.
• DateIfc Type (Enumeration): The IFC type of this object.

IFC Attributes

• DateDescription (String): An optional description for this component
• DateGlobal Id (String)
• DateObject Type (String)
• DateOverall Height (Length)
• DateOverall Width (Length)
• DatePartitioning Type (Enumeration)
• DatePredefined Type (Enumeration)
• DateTag (String): An optional tag for this component.
• DateUser Defined Partitioning Type (String)

View

Auto Group

• VizualizareAutogroup Autosize (Bool): Automatically set the capture box size from the Building Part contents. introduced in 0.20
• VizualizareAutogroup Box (Bool): Turns auto grouping (and the display of the capture box) on/off. introduced in 0.20
• VizualizareAutogroup Margin (Length): A margin to use when autosize is turned on. introduced in 0.20
• VizualizareAutogroup Size (IntegerList): The capture box for newly created objects expressed as [XMin,YMin,ZMin,XMax,YMax,ZMax]. introduced in 0.20

Building Part

• Vizualizare (Hidden)Diffuse Color (ColorList): The individual face colors.
• VizualizareDisplay Offset (Placement): A transformation to apply to the level mark.
• VizualizareFont Name (Font): The font to be used for texts.
• VizualizareFont Size (Length): The font size of texts.
• VizualizareLine Width (Float): The line width of this object.
• VizualizareOrigin Offset (Bool): If true, when activated, Display offset will affect the origin mark too.
• VizualizareOverride Unit (String): An optional unit to express levels.
• VizualizareShow Label (Bool): If true, when activated, the object's label is displayed.
• VizualizareShow Level (Bool): If true, show the level.
• VizualizareShow Unit (Bool): If true, show the unit on the level tag.

Children

• VizualizareChildren Line Color (Color): The line color to apply to the children of this Building Part.
• VizualizareChildren Line Width (Float): The line width to apply to the children of this Building Part.
• VizualizareChildren Override (Bool): If true, the objects contained in this Building Part will adopt these line, color and transparency settings.
• VizualizareChildren Shape Color (Color): The shape color to apply to the children of this Building Part.
• VizualizareChildren Transparency (Percent): The transparency to apply to the children of this Building Part.

Clip

• VizualizareAuto Cut View (Bool): Turn cutting on when activating this level.
• VizualizareCut Margin (Length): The distance between the level plane and the cut line.
• VizualizareCut View (Bool): Cut the view above this level.

Interactions

• VizualizareAuto Working Plane (Bool): If true, the working plane will be kept on Auto mode.
• VizualizareDouble Click Activates (Bool): If true, double-clicking this object in the tree activates it.
• VizualizareRestore View (Bool): If set, the view stored in this object will be restored on double-click.
• VizualizareSave Inventor (Bool): If this is enabled, the inventor representation of this object will be saved in the FreeCAD file, allowing to reference it in other files in lightweight mode.
• Vizualizare (Hidden)Saved Inventor (FileIncluded): A slot to save the inventor representation of this object, if enabled.
• VizualizareSet Working Plane (Bool): If true, when activated, the working plane will automatically adapt to this Building Part.
• Vizualizare (Hidden)View Data (FloatList): Camera position data associated with this object.
