Public methodGetRegionEnvelope Gets the envelope that a specified region spans.
Public methodGetRegionIds Gets the region ids of this compound structure.
Public methodGetRegionsAlongLevel Returns the ids of the regions encountered as the vertically compound structure is traversed at a constant height above the bottom a wall to which this structure is applied.
Public methodGetRegionsAssociatedToLayer Gets the set of region ids associated to a particular layer.
Public methodGetSegmentCoordinate Gets the coordinate of a segment.
Public methodGetSegmentEndPoints Gets the end points of a segment.
Public methodGetSegmentIds Gets the segment ids of this compound structure.
Public methodGetSegmentOrientation Gets the orientation of a segment.
Public methodGetSimpleCompoundStructure Takes a horizontal slice through a sample wall to which this CompoundStructure is applied and returns a simple compound structure which describes that slice, i.e. a series of parallel layers.
Public methodGetTypeGets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object)
Public methodGetWallSweepsInfo Obtains a list of the intrinsic wall sweeps or reveals in this CompoundStructure.
Public methodGetWidth The width implied by this compound structure.
Public methodGetWidth(Int32) Computes the width of the envelope (2d bounding box) of the specified region.
Public methodIsCoreLayer Checks if the specified layer is a core layer.
Public methodIsEqual Checks whether this CompoundStructure is the same as another CompoundStructure.
Public methodIsLayerValid Verifies that the data in this layer is internally consistent.
Public methodIsRectangularRegion Determines whether the specified region is rectangular.
Public methodIsSimpleRegion Determines whether the region is a simple region in this CompoundStructure.
Public methodIsStructuralDeck Determines whether a specified layer is a structural deck.
Public methodIsValid 
Public methodIsValidLayerPriority Checks if the layer priority is valid to match the function.
Public methodIsValidRegionId Determines whether the specified integer is actually the id of a region in this CompoundStructure.
Public methodIsValidSampleHeight Is the specified height a valid sample height for this compound structure?
Public methodIsValidSegmentId Determines whether the specified integer is actually the id of a segment in this CompoundStructure.
Public methodIsVerticallyHomogeneous Indicates whether this CompoundStructure represents a single set of parallel layers.
Public methodMergeRegionsAdjacentToSegment Merges the two regions which share the specified segment.
Public methodParticipatesInWrapping Identifies if a layer is included in wrapping at inserts and ends.
