Properties

	Name	Description
	CategoryType	The category type which this layer belongs to.
	ColorName	The color name stored in value. For IFC export, the naming is to match the "colornumber" setting -- really, this stores a string that generates the colorNumber (for formats that don't use the color but need a second entry.)
	ColorNumber	The color number stored in value.
	CutColorNumber	The cut color number stored in value.
	CutLayerName	The cut layer name stored in value.
	IsValidObject	Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
	LayerName	The layer name stored in value.

Methods

	Name	Description
	AddCutLayerModifier	Adds a cut layer modifier to the layer info.
	AddLayerModifier	Adds a project layer modifier to the layer info.
	ClearCutLayerModifiers	Clears all the cut layer modifiers stored in the layer info.
	ClearLayerModifiers	Clears all the project layer modifiers stored in the layer info.
	Dispose	Releases all resources used by the ExportLayerInfo
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
	GetCutLayerModifiers	Gets all the cut layer modifiers from the layer info.
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
	GetLayerModifiers	Gets all the project layer modifiers from the layer info.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
	RemoveCutLayerModifier	Removes a cut layer modifier from the layer info.
	RemoveLayerModifier	Removes a project layer modifier from the layer info.
	SetCutLayerModifiers	Sets a cut layer modifier array to the layer info.
	SetLayerModifiers	Sets a project layer modifier array to the layer info.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
