  • 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
    • getPartitioningType

      Optional<Window.PartitioningType> getPartitioningType()
      Returns the partitioning type of the window.
      Returns:
      the partitioning type of the window

    • getUserDefinedPartitioningType

      Optional<String> getUserDefinedPartitioningType()
      Returns the user-defined partitioning type of the window.
      Returns:
      the user-defined partitioning type of the window
      Since:
      24.12
    • getResolvedPartitioningType

      Optional<String> getResolvedPartitioningType()
      Returns the resolved partitioning type. The resolution happens in the following order: When window's partitioning type is available:
      1. If window's partitioning type is USERDEFINED, then the value is taken from getUserDefinedPartitioningType().
      2. If window's partitioning type is not USERDEFINED, then the value is taken from getPartitioningType().
      When window's partitioning type not available, the value is taken from window's type:
      1. If type's partitioning type is USERDEFINED, then the value is taken from type's user-defined partitioning type.
      2. If type's partitioning type is not USERDEFINED, then the value is taken from type's partitioning type.
      Returns:
      the resolved partitioning type
