Description

Gets the elevation and thickness of the specified layer in document units.

PROCEDURE GetLayerElevationN(
				h             : HANDLE;
				VAR baseElev  : REAL;
				VAR thickness : REAL);

def vs.GetLayerElevationN(h):
    return (baseElev, thickness)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
h	HANDLE	Handle to the layer.
baseElev	REAL	Base elevation of the layer in document units.
thickness	REAL	Thickness of the layer in document units.

Examples

PROCEDURE Example;
VAR
	h :HANDLE; 
	baseElev, thickness :REAL;
BEGIN
	h := FLayer;
	WHILE h <> NIL DO BEGIN
		GetLayerElevationN(h, baseElev, thickness);
		thickness := thickness / (25.4 / GetPrefReal(152));
		AlrtDialog(Concat('layer name: ', GetLName(h), ', baseElev: ', baseElev, ', thickness: ', thickness));
		h := NextLayer(h);
	END;
END;
RUN(Example);

GetLayerElevationN(h, 1.0, 2.0);
