set wall height

[ge25yak]

Hi, I was trying to set the height attribute of an unstyled wall at first floor to for instance 5m using vs.HWallHeight(h, 0, 5) or vs.SetWallHeights(h, 0, 5), but none of them worked. I just got none as returned values from both of them. Does anyone know how to adjust wall height properly via python api?

Hello @ge25yak,

   There may be other ways to set the wall height, but I found this works, so I stopped looking for other ways. The commands below always use mm, so you have to convert your document units to mm before setting the wall height values, hence the use of the scale factor variable "SF". This overly simple script will change the selected wall height to 5 (document units). I assumed meters in this case. Using your document units change the "newWallHt" value to your liking.

 

import vs
# Sample script to set the height (top elevation) of a selected wall.

newWallHt = 5		# document units

WallStartHeightTop	= 604
WallEndHeightTop	= 606

WallStartHeightBot	= 605
WallEndHeightBot	= 607

SF = vs.GetPrefReal(152) / 25.4		# units per mm
H = vs.FSActLayer()

vs.SetObjectVariableReal(H, WallStartHeightTop, newWallHt/SF)	# starting height in mm
vs.SetObjectVariableReal(H, WallEndHeightTop, newWallHt/SF)	# ending height in mm
vs.ResetObject(H)

vs.SysBeep()

 

HTH,
