The BuilderShell type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	BuilderShell	Initializes a new instance of the BuilderShell class. default shell-builder.
	BuilderShell(IMesh)	Initializes a new instance of the BuilderShell class. create grass-shell from mesh.
	BuilderShell(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)	Initializes a new instance of the BuilderShell class. Deserialize BuilderShell.

Properties

	Name	Description
	bending_stiff	Gets or sets a value indicating whether bending stiffness is taken into account (turns beams into trusses and shells into membranes and vice versa). (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	canBuckle	Gets or sets a value indicating whether can buckle. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	color	Gets or sets user defined color of the beam-set. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	crosec	Gets or sets the cross section of the element. (Overrides BuilderElementcrosec.)
	Ecce	Gets the nodal eccentricity of the element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	ecce_glo	Gets or sets eccentricity which is defined in the global coordinate system. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	ecce_loc	Gets or sets eccentricity which is local to the element and can be separately set for each of them. The other types of eccentricity would be either attached to a cross section or oriented globally. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	guid	Gets the the builder's identifier. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	hasEccent	Gets a value indicating whether an element eccentricity is present. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	id	Gets or sets the identifier (name) of the element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	ids_secondary	Gets the secondary identifiers of the element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	is_active	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the element is active. If not active, the elements stiffness is reduced to such a degree that it does not influence results any more (soft-kill approach). The small remaining stiffness should however suffice to keep the system from becoming numerically kinematic. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	is_valid	Gets a value indicating whether the builder element is valid. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	is_visible	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the element is visible: true if the element is visible on the canvas. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	IsValid	Gets a value indicating whether the element is valid. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	mesh	Gets the mesh of the shell.
	modified_height	Gets or sets the cross section height (depth) modification factor of the this element. Can be set in a GH definition with the ModifyBeam-component. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	modified_thick	Gets or sets the cross section wall thickness modification factor of the this element. Can be set in a GH definition with the ModifyBeam-component. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	nII	Gets or sets list of nodal indexes or null. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	Ori	Gets or sets the orientation of the element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	parent_ind	Gets or sets index of parent element from which this element may inherit its properties (material, cross section,...) A negative value signals that there is no parent;. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	Pos	Gets or sets the position of the element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	UserData	Gets access to the user-data dictionary. (Inherited from CommonObject.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	accepts	Returns true if the given cross section can be applied to the element. Returns false if you test e.g. a shell cross section against a beam element. (Overrides BuilderElementaccepts(CroSec).)
	addSecondaryID	Adds a secondary element identifier. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	area	calculate area of the mesh.
	Clone	clone the builder-element. (Overrides BuilderElementClone.)
	Clone(ModelElement)	clone grass-element and link it to a given model element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	CloneSecondaryIDs	clone the secondary element identifiers. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	Copy	copy contents of another grass-element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	disassembleElement	Disassemble an element into its constituents. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetObjectData	Serializes a shell element. (Overrides BuilderElementGetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext).)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	HasUserData	true if the object has user-data attached. (Inherited from CommonObject.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	parent_inds	return the indexes of all parents of the element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	snapElement	change the element if nodes snap together according to the given list of node indexes. returns true if the element was completely snapped. (Overrides BuilderElementsnapElement(ListPoint3, NKDTreeDupli, MessageLogger).)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Overrides CommonObjectToString.)

Fields

	Name	Description
	_color	user defined color of the beam-set. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	_eccentricity	nodal eccentricity of the element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	_guid	the builder's identifier. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	_id	user given primary identification (name) of element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	_ids_secondary	user given further identification (name) of element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	_orientation	orientation of the element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	_position	position of the element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	crosec_	the elements cross section.
