Bases: epquery.basicedit.BasicEdit

Geometry specific methods.

get_surface_area(surface_name, surface_type=’BuildingSurface:Detailed’)

Returns the surface area.

Parameters:

• surface_name (str) – Surface name
• surface_type (str) – Surface type, default: BuildingSurface:Detailed

Returns:

List of vertices (list of tuples with x, y, z)

Return type:

list(tuple(float, float, float))

get_surface_centroid(surface_name, surface_type=’BuildingSurface:Detailed’, relative=False)

Returns the surface center point (centroid). The centroid can be in absolute or relative coordinates (relative to the first vertex).

Parameters:

• surface_name (str) – Surface name
• surface_type (str) – Surface type, default: BuildingSurface:Detailed
• relative (bool) – If True the centroid is given in relative coordinates

Return type:

numpy.ndarray with 3 elements

get_surface_vertices(surface_name, surface_type=’BuildingSurface:Detailed’)

Returns a list of vertices defining the surface.

Parameters:

• surface_name (str) – Surface name
• surface_type (str) – Surface type, default: BuildingSurface:Detailed

Returns:

List of vertices (list of tuples with x, y, z)

Return type:

list(tuple(float, float, float))
