def vs.GetCWFramesFromPt(hWall, testPt, includeBottomFrame):
    return (BOOLEAN, panelThickness, panelOffset, frameInsetTop, frameInsetBottom, frameInsetRight, frameInsetLeft)

Parameters

hWall		HANDLE		Handle to the curtain wall
testPt		REAL		Point to test on the curtain wall. Typically the center point of the object to be placed in the curtain wall panel.
includeBottomFrame		BOOLEAN		Include the bottom frame.
panelThickness		REAL		This is the thickness of the panel as it subtracts from the frames. It is a property of the panel
panelOffset		REAL		This is the dimension from the center of the panel to the center of the wall
frameInsetTop		REAL		The frame inset is the distance the panel extends into and subtracts from the frame.
frameInsetBottom		REAL
frameInsetRight		REAL
frameInsetLeft		REAL

Return Value

Returns TRUE if hWall is a curtain wall and frames are found.

Returns FALSE is hWall is not a curtain wall or the test point is not found on the wall.
