Arch BuildingPart/ro

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 editor.

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