Base Element Adapter

Class full path: NemAll_Python_IFW_ElementAdapter.BaseElementAdapter

Implementation of the base element adapter

BaseElementAdapter is used inside the IFW as general element class, e.g. as result of an element selection. The class is created as adapter to avoid future IFW changes if the internal CAD data structure will be changed.

The class has some member functions to get the general element data like name, geometry, common properties, ...

The adapter includes also the DocumentAdapter, which can be used to get the access to the internal CAD data structure.
