Bases: _ProxyObject

Reinforcement property entry in an RSWall MSE/SRW project library.

Option strings are module-level constants such as TYPE_GEOGRID (plain str values, not Python enums).

property name: str#

getReinforcementDetails()#

Read the full reinforcement state in one call.

Includes read-only computed fields (seismicTensileStrength) and connection / F* / design-standard summary fields. Writable fields are also exposed via dedicated setters.

Return type:: Dict[str, Any]

setName(name)#

Parameters:: name (str)

getColour()#

Return type:: Tuple[int, int, int, int]

setColour(red, green, blue, alpha=255)#

alpha (int)

getColor()#

Alias for getColour().

Return type:: Tuple[int, int, int, int]

setColor(red, green, blue, alpha=255)#

Alias for setColour().

getStripWidth()#

Strip width in project native very-small-length units (strip types only).
