4.4.4 How to measure basic element geometry

The majority of geometry expressions are fairly generic and apply to all elements, e.g. height, width, depth, perimeter, area and volume. Application to measurements is straightforward, e.g. calculating the volume of a box bounding an element:

element.height * element.width * element.depth

The precise element simply element.volume. Some information about the element’s home storey is also available including:

Storey base level: Storey height:

element.storey.level element.storey.height

A full list of geometry measurements can be found in section 7.2.
