Indicates whether the Element can have an Analytical Model.

Identifies if the element can have a type assigned.

Changes the type of the element.

Create a DirectShape object and add it to document.

Create a DirectShape object and add it to document. The shape stored in the element is either a reference or a copy of a definition shape that was created earlier. How the definitions are stored will determine whether an instance or a copy of the shape will be created. See DirectShapeLibrary for more details. This function is included for convenience. It essentially combines CreateGeometryInstance and CreateElement.

Create a copy of a definition shape that was created earlier. Use DirectShapeLibrary class to store definitions prior to using them here. How the definitions are stored will determine whether an instance or a copy of the shape will be created. See DirectShapeLibrary for more details. Use the output of this function as input to CreateElement to make the created shape persistent.

Gets the status of a given element in the input phase

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Returns the identifier of this element's type.

Obtains a set of types that are valid for this element.

Returns true if this Element has the properties CreatedPhaseId and DemolishedPhaseId.

Determines whether this Element represents an external file.

Identifies if the element has been permanently hidden in the view.

Indicate whether an element is monitoring any elements in any linked models.

Indicate whether an element is monitoring other local elements.

Returns true if createdPhaseId is an allowed value for the property CreatedPhaseId in this Element.

Returns true if demolishedPhaseId is an allowed value for the property DemolishedPhaseId in this Element.

Test the category id to make sure it is indeed a top-level built-in category

Validate geometry to be stored in a DirectShape. Suitable geometry validation is performed. Additionally, the geometry must make sense as a shape representation for the category assigned to this DirectShape object.

Checks if given type is valid for this element.

Test the type id to make sure it satisfies the following conditions - It is a valid element id - It corresponds to a valid DirectShapeType - The DirectShapeType has the same category assigned. Additionally, this functions tests that the current type id in this DirectShape is invalid. The type id is initialized to invalidElementId by the create functions. Once it is set, it may no longer be changed.

Attempts to find a parameter on the element which has the given name.

Determines whether this Element uses external resources associated with a specified external resource type.

Determines whether this Element uses external resources.

Stores the entity in the element. If an Entity described by the same Schema already exists, it is overwritten.

Sets the GUID of the application that has created this DirectShape element and the GUID of the native data that was the source of this DirectShape.

Sets the name for the DirectShape element.

Sets the options to use for this DirectShape.

Builds the shape of this object from the supplied collection of Geometry objects. The objects are copied. If the new shape is identical to the old one, the old shape will be kept.

Sets the shape of this object to the one accumulated in the supplied Builder object. If the new shape is identical to the old one, the old shape will be kept.

Builds the shape of this object from the supplied collection of Geometry objects. The objects are copied. If the new shape is identical to the old one, the old shape will be kept.

Sets the DirectShapeType for the DirectShape element

Returns a string that represents the current object.
