The Solid type exposes the following members.

Properties
 NameDescription

Public propertyCode exampleFacesThe faces that belong to the solid.
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 propertySurfaceAreaReturns the total surface area of this solid.
Public propertyVisibilityThe visibility.
(Inherited from GeometryObject)

Methods
 NameDescription
Public methodComputeCentroidReturns the Centroid of this solid.
Public methodDisposeCauses the object to release immediately any resources it may be utilizing.
(Inherited from APIObject)
Public methodEquals Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
(Inherited from GeometryObject)
Public methodGetBoundingBox Retrieves a box that circumscribes the solid geometry.
Public methodGetHashCode Gets the integer value of the geometry object as hash code
