Syntax

C++

Copy

public class Profile : GeometryObject

Public Class Profile
	Inherits GeometryObject

public ref class Profile : public GeometryObject

type Profile = 
    class
        inherit GeometryObject
    end

The Profile type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Curves	Retrieve the curves that make up the boundary of the profile.
	Filled	Get or set whether the profile is filled.
	GraphicsStyleId	The ElementId of the GeometryObject's GraphicsStyle (Inherited from GeometryObject)
	Id	A unique integer identifying the GeometryObject in its associated non view-specific GeometryElement. (Inherited from GeometryObject)
	IsElementGeometry	Indicates whether this geometry is obtained directly from an Element. (Inherited from GeometryObject)
	IsReadOnly	Identifies if the object is read-only or modifiable. (Inherited from APIObject)
	Transformed	Transforms this profile and returns the result.
	Visibility	The visibility. (Inherited from GeometryObject)

Methods

	Name	Description
	Clone	Returns a copy of this profile.
	Dispose	Causes the object to release immediately any resources it may be utilizing. (Inherited from APIObject)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from GeometryObject)
	GetHashCode	Gets the integer value of the geometry object as hash code (Inherited from GeometryObject)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Remarks

The profile may be filled.
