Constructors

ContentElement(String, BBox3, Double, Vector3, Transform, Material, Representation, Boolean, Guid, String)

This constructor adds backwards compatibility with the old constructor, before Symbols were added.

Declaration
public ContentElement(string gltfLocation, BBox3 boundingBox, double gltfScaleToMeters, Vector3 sourceDirection, Transform transform, Material material, Representation representation, bool isElementDefinition, Guid id, string name)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.String gltfLocation

The path to the .glb file.
BBox3 boundingBox

The BBox3 of this Content Element.
System.Double gltfScaleToMeters

The number required to scale this contents dimensions to meters. Used during gltf merging.
Vector3 sourceDirection

The direction the element was facing when it was extracted from it's source.
Transform transform

The transform of this ContentElement.
Material material

The material, used for the BBox representation of this element.
Representation representation

The representation which will be updated when needed.
System.Boolean isElementDefinition

Should the element be used to create instances, or should it be inserted into a 3D scene.
System.Guid id

The guid of this element.
System.String name

The name of this element.

ContentElement(String, BBox3, Double, Vector3, Transform, Material, Representation, Boolean, Guid, String, String)

This constructor adds the ability to include additionalProperties. The additional properties should be a dictionary that has been serialized to a string, they are deserialized during construction. This is used in Revit Content workflows to store instance parameter data.

Declaration
public ContentElement(string gltfLocation, BBox3 boundingBox, double gltfScaleToMeters, Vector3 sourceDirection, Transform transform, Material material, Representation representation, bool isElementDefinition, Guid id, string name, string additionalProperties)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.String gltfLocation

The path to the .glb file.
BBox3 boundingBox

The BBox3 of this Content Element.
System.Double gltfScaleToMeters

The number required to scale this contents dimensions to meters. Used during gltf merging.
Vector3 sourceDirection

The direction the element was facing when it was extracted from it's source.
Transform transform

The transform of this ContentElement.
Material material

The material, used for the BBox representation of this element.
Representation representation

The representation which will be updated when needed.
System.Boolean isElementDefinition

Should the element be used to create instances, or should it be inserted into a 3D scene.
System.Guid id

The guid of this element.
System.String name

The name of this element.
System.String additionalProperties

The string json serialization of a dictionary of additional parameters.
