[bjoernsteinhagen]

Description & motivation

• Related to CNX-880
• Functionality to extract material and section data
• Single material can apply to numerous sections and a single section can apply to numerous objects
• A section can be either for a PropFrame (FRAME) or PropArea (AREA)
• To make it a little tricky, PropArea is for one of the following types: Deck, Wall or Slab. This affects the applicable api query

Changes:

Figma Link

• _materialUnpacker - CsiShared implementation (eligible for both Sap2000 and Etabs)
• _sectionUnpacker - CsiShared and host-app specific implementations (e.g. GetAllSectionProperties_2 not valid for Sap2000
• SectionMaterialRelationshipManager and ObjectSectionRelationshipManager - Method of building relationships. Based on MaterialName for section-material relationship and sectionDesignation for object-section relationship. Both of these attributes (strings) have to be unique in Etabs world
• Enums for project-wide consistency

To-do before merge:

• SectionProxy and MaterialProxy (?) in the SDK. Currently using GroupProxy

Screenshots:

• Proxies created for materials, frame sections and shell sections:

• The nested properties dictionary orientates itself on the UI:

• The material-section relations are based on the unique material names (no ApplicationId).

• The section-object relations are based on the ApplicationId of the object(s).

@clairekuang I had a brainwave this morning and currently exploring cDatabaseTables as a way to simplify the extraction of properties and get a more formalized return (as opposed to: determine type, use specific api query for that type etc.). If it works, it should reduce the amount of code and code complexity drastically (especially for AreaSectionProperty). Concerned the cDatabaseTables queries are a little slower though but will keep an eye on this.
