Input to Object Types for Wall and Slab

If you are interested in authoring adaptive Object Types to be associated to the Wall and Slab features of Building & Civil Structure Design, you may want to take a note of what the UDF and Engineering Template can ask their feature specification to provide and the names to be used.

 

WALL 
Mid-SurfaceMid surface of the wall after the cuts 
EnvelopeBody of the wall before the cuts
WallBodyBody of the wall after the cuts
WallThicknessThickness of the wall
Base-LineCenter line of the wall
SLAB

SlabBodyBody of the slab after the cuts
SlabWidthThickness of the slab

 

Please disregard what is documented in CBDGeometryInputs.xlsx, found in the resource folder, which is for the corresponding legacy features of Building Space Planning. 

Note that starting with 22x FD04, an OT must contain a valid UDF in order to be associated to the feature from its UI. However, it is still possible to assign it with the Publish command or the BIM attributes widget if you prefer to skip the udf step.

Also, WallThickness is normally an input to the Object type, but if the thickness parameter is set to read only in the UDF, it will be instead be used as input to the wall feature. That way, the thickness of the wall can be determined by the Object type assigned to it. The same goes for SlabWidth.
