Syntax
public class Profile : GeometryObject
Public Class Profile
	Inherits GeometryObject
public ref class Profile : public GeometryObject
type Profile = 
    class

The Profile type exposes the following members.

Properties
 NameDescription
Public propertyCurvesRetrieve the curves that make up the boundary of the profile.
Public propertyFilledGet or set whether the profile is filled.
Public propertyCode exampleGraphicsStyleIdThe ElementId of the GeometryObject's GraphicsStyle
(Inherited from GeometryObject)
Public propertyIdA unique integer identifying the GeometryObject in its associated non view-specific GeometryElement.
(Inherited from GeometryObject)
Public propertyIsElementGeometryIndicates whether this geometry is obtained directly from an Element.
(Inherited from GeometryObject)
Public propertyCode exampleIsReadOnlyIdentifies if the object is read-only or modifiable.
(Inherited from APIObject)
Public propertyTransformedTransforms this profile and returns the result.
Public propertyVisibilityThe visibility.
