Constructors
 NameDescription
Public methodExportLayerInfo Constructs a new ExportLayerInfo with default values.

Properties
 NameDescription
Public propertyCategoryType The category type which this layer belongs to.
Public propertyColorName The color name stored in value. For IFC export, the naming is to match the "colornumber" setting -- really, this stores a string that generates the colorNumber (for formats that don't use the color but need a second entry.)
Public propertyColorNumber The color number stored in value.
Public propertyCutColorNumber The cut color number stored in value.
Public propertyCutLayerName The cut layer name stored in value.
Public propertyIsValidObject Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
Public propertyLayerName The layer name stored in value.
