Description

Returns the heated (interior) area along the slope of roofs or roof faces that meet the criteria.

FUNCTION RoofArea_Heated(
c :CRITERIA) : REAL;
def vs.RoofArea_Heated(c):
    return REAL

Parameters

c CRITERIA

Remarks

(Orso 2016.06.28): This returns the area excluding the overhang:

  • Roof Faces: the overhang is the part outside the roof axis (line with the arrow). Mind that this doesn't necessarily run parallel to the roof face's edge.
  • Roof objects: the overhang is ruled parametrically clicking a face and setting it in the roof dialog. This sets roof axis in the embedded Roof Face[s].
