[ORD CONNECT 10.08 C#] Detect if element is an Interval

I have a CADD QC tool that I maintain and am currently updating for OpenRoads Designer CE 10.08. I'm running into "Interval" elements, these are somewhat like construction elements used to generate civil geometry. When I'm scanning elements, these are picked up by my scanner, I'm trying to figure out how to determine this element is an "interval" so I can handle them differently. These are elements are only visible if you select them.

  • Hi Mike, 

    The Interval Element is not as you indicate the invisible section but rather the Visible section of the original Base-element that has been trimmed by the fillet. 

    What API are you using in your Scanner ?

    The OpenRoads SDK can Identify if an alignment represents an Interval.

  • The program is a COM based .NET migration from V8i SS4 to ORD. What I meant by "invisible" was that the element does not show up in a drawing unless you select them. I was hoping the Element.IsHidden value would be true so I could ignore this type element but that value is false in this situation. Looking for a way to find out what is unique about this type of element so I can handle it different. This program is used for both plain MicroStation CE & ORD users so I really need to find a way without having to include Civil references in my program.
