Walls, Floors, Ceilings, Roofs and Openings

This chapter discusses Elements and the corresponding ElementTypes representing built-in place construction:

• HostObject - The first two sections focus on HostObject and corresponding HostObjAttributes subclasses
• Foundation - Different foundations in the API are represented as different classes, including Floor, ContFooting, and FamilyInstance. The Floor and Foundation section compares them in the API.
• CompoundStructure - This section describes the CompoundStructure class and provides access to Material.

Some host element types have thermal properties which are described in the Thermal Properties section.

In addition to host Elements, the Opening class is introduced at the end of this section.
