InspectElementTool Class

Beta  

Creates a readable text summary of a geometric element or geometry part. The keyin takes the following arguments, all of which are optional:

  • id=elementId,elementId,elementId comma-separated list of element Ids where each elementId is a hexadecimal element Id such as "0x12cb";
  • symbology=0|1 where 1 indicates detailed symbology information should be included in the output;
  • placement=0|1 where 1 indicates detailed geometric element placement should be included; and
  • verbosity=0|1|2 controlling the verbosity of the output for each geometric primitive in the geometry stream. Higher values = more detailed information. Note verbosity=2 can produce megabytes of data for certain types of geometric primitives like large meshes.
  • modal=0|1 where 1 indicates the output should appear in a modal dialog.
  • copy=0|1 where 1 indicates the output should be copied to the clipboard. Defaults to true.
  • refs=0|1 where 1 indicates that for geometry parts a list of all elements referencing that part should be included in the output. This is extremely computationally expensive. If no id is specified, the tool runs in interactive mode: first operating upon the selection set (if any), then allowing the user to select additional elements.
