Basic workflow

As the profiles can have many components, the 2D (and 3D) representation is based on a loop, where the number of runs is equal with the number of profile components.
In each run, attributes of the current component can be reached with the “Profile_component_info” requests, and the component can be drawn with a POLY2_B{6} command, which can handle different pens and line types for each side. The geometry should be used with put-get method, which helps to convert the original geometry data to be used with the command. Some variables are coming from the master script, see the earlier chapter: _nComponents, _bShowPart[], _profileGeometryRawData, _idxStartPoints[], _idxEndPoints[].

How to draw with poly2_b{6}

for _iComp = 1 to _nComponents

	if _bShowPart[_iComp] then
		! --- Get contour pen ---
		_pen = 1
		n = REQUEST{4} ("Profile_component_info", myProfileIdx, _iComp, "gs_profile_outlinepen", _pen)

		! --- Get building material and cut fill attributes ---
		_bmat = 1
		n = REQUEST{4} ("Profile_component_info", myProfileIdx, _iComp, "gs_profile_bmat", _bmat)
		n = REQUEST{2} ("Building_Material_info", _bmat, "gs_bmat_cutfill_properties", _fillType, _fillPen, _fillBgPen)

		! --- Get the pens and linetypes for the polygon edges ---
		dim _currPens[]
		dim _currLineTypes[]
		n = REQUEST{4} ("Profile_component_info", myProfileIdx, _iComp, "gs_profile_comp_pens", _currPens)
		n = REQUEST{4} ("Profile_component_info", myProfileIdx, _iComp, "gs_profile_comp_linetypes", _currLineTypes)

		fill _fillType
		pen _pen		

		! --- Store parameters for the poly command ---
		_penLtIdx = 1
		for _i = _idxStartPoints[_iComp] to _idxEndPoints[_iComp] step 5
			put 	_profileGeometryRawData[_i],		! xn
				_profileGeometryRawData[_i + 1],	! yn
				_profileGeometryRawData[_i + 2] + _profileGeometryRawData[_i + 4],	! status values : edgeVisible + additionalStatus
				_currPens[_penLtIdx],			! pen
				_currLineTypes[_penLtIdx]		! linetype

			_penLtIdx = _penLtIdx + 1
		next _i

		! --- Draw the component ---	
		poly2_b{6} (NSP/5), 1+2+4, 1, 0,	! cut fill, 0 distortion flag
			_fillPen, _fillBgPen,
			0, 0,				! fill origin
			0.1, 0.1, 0.2, 0.2,		! mxx, mxy, myx, myy
			0.1, 				! gradientInnerRadius
			get (NSP)

	endif
next _iComp
