6.1.21.2 Methods Defined Here

assign_construction(construction, surface)

Assign construction to surface. If the model has inner volumes and newly-assigned constructions have

differing thicknesses to the previous ones, rebuild_adjacencies must be called on the VEModel.

assign_opening_type(surface_index, macroflo_id, opening_index)

Assign macroflo opening type to opening.

get_areas() -> {areas}

Returns a dict of areas (and volume) for this space.

The following areas are returned (All areas are returned in m² units. Room volume is returned in m³):

int_floor_area	ext_floor_area	int_floor_opening	ext_floor_opening
int_floor_glazed	ext_floor_glazed
int_ceiling_area	ext_ceiling_area	int_ceiling_opening	ext_ceiling_opening
int_ceiling_glazed	ext_ceiling_glazed	int_ceiling_door	ext_ceiling_door
int_wall_area	ext_wall_area	int_wall_opening	ext_wall_opening
int_wall_glazed	ext_wall_glazed	int_wall_door	ext_wall_door
volume

Note: space total floor / ceiling etc. area comprises both internal and external areas.

get_assigned_constructions() -> [(construction ID, '')]

Returns a list of tuples containing construction IDs assigned to this space. The second element in the tuple is currently unused.

get_assigned_profiles() -> [(profile ID, '')]

Returns a list of tuples containing profile IDs in use by this space. The second element in the tuple is currently unused.

get_index()

Get the index of the body

get_surfaces() -> [surfaces]

Returns a list of VESurface objects that bound this space.

get_room_data(type = attribute_type. real_attributes ) -> VERoomData object

Args:

type (attribute_type )

Returns a VERoomData object for closer inspection of data assigned to this room. The returned data depends on the input type: the default type of ‘real_attributes’ gives the default data for the room, but NCM, PRM and Title 24 specific data can be requested (but only for their respective building variants).

select()

Selects this body. Perform operations on the selected body using the VEGeometry API.
