  • Method Details

    • getFootprint

      Footprint getFootprint()
      Calculates the footprint for this window based on the assumption that the expected footprint the caller wants is calculated based on positioning of the window inside a wall and an opening. Footprint is calculated by extending the window to the intersection of the wall and an opening inside it. If there is no opening or wall found around the window, the calculation falls back to the default footprint calculation and is equal to getGeometricalFootprint.
      Specified by:
      getFootprint in interface Component
      Returns:
      the footprint
    • getGeometricalFootprint

      Footprint getGeometricalFootprint()
      Calculates the footprint for the window based on the actual geometry of the window. This matches the way footprints are calculated by default for entities.
      Returns:
      the footprint
