Overview
This page documents the shear wall attribute library returned and consumed by the Medeek Wall API shear wall attribute read/set methods.
Like the other array-based attribute indexes, these shear wall parameters are not stored as separate named attributes. Instead, the shear wall library stores an ordered array under the shear wall group name, so the parameter keys are documented here by array position.
The parameters are listed in the same order as the internal shear wall attribute array so it is easier to understand where each value belongs. The variable name column reflects the internal Ruby instance variable used to assemble the array.
Shear Wall Attributes
These parameters define the shear wall extents, descriptive designation, left and right boundary post settings, holdown hardware, exterior and interior sheathing properties, sole plate anchorage, anchor bolt configuration, blocking, clip settings, and sheathing vertical offsets. Stored in library medeek_wall_shearwall.
