Syntax
The DividedPath type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AssemblyInstanceId |
The id of the assembly instance to which the element belongs.
(Inherited from Element) |
| BeginningIndent | The beginningIndent is an offset distance from the beginning of the first curve that determines the beginning of the range over which the layout is applied. The measurement type determines how the distance is measured. |
| BoundingBox | Retrieves a box that circumscribes all geometry of the element. (Inherited from Element) |
| Category | Retrieves a Category object that represents the category or sub category in which the
element resides. (Inherited from Element) |
| CreatedPhaseId |
Id of a Phase at which the Element was created.
(Inherited from Element) |
| DemolishedPhaseId |
Id of a Phase at which the Element was demolished.
(Inherited from Element) |
| DesignOption | Returns the design option to which the element belongs. (Inherited from Element) |
| DisplayNodeNumbers | Controls whether the node numbers are shown when the divided path is selected |
| DisplayNodes | Controls whether the points of the divided path are visible |
| DisplayReferenceCurves | Controls whether the curves in the path are visible |
| Distance | The distance between points that are distributed along the path according to the selected layout. When the layout is set to 'FixedDistance' this value can be set to desired distance. The measurement type determines how the distance is measured. |
| Document | Returns the Document in which the Element resides. (Inherited from Element) |
| EndIndent | The endIndent is an offset distance from the end of the last curve that determines the end of the range over which the layout is applied. The measurement type determines how the distance is measured. |
| FixedNumberOfPoints | The number of points used when the layout is set to 'FixedNumber'. |
| Flipped | If the divided path is flipped the nodes are numbered in the reverse order. It also switches the ends from which beginningIndent and endIndent are measured from. |

Remarks
The points can be the result of a uniform distribution along the path.
The type of the distribution is determined by a selected 'layout'.
The distance between the layout points depends on the path, the layout, and layout specific settings.
In addition, points can also be the result of intersecting the path with other elements.
