WTG Areas Object Service

The ObjWtgAreasService is giving access to WTG area objects. To make a new wtg object, you can use the ObjectService. Then getting the properties of the wtg with the ObjWtgAreasService.GetWtgAreasObject. These properties can be manipulated and then send back to windPRO with ObjWtgAreasService.SetWtgAreasObject. Multiple areas can be added within one wtg area object. To make a new area you must use special objects that can be accessed via windproapi.get_factory('WindproService'). Make a new WTG area with factory.TApiObjWtgArea() and append points using factory.TApiGP() to it. These points are the border of the single WTG area. You can also define a WTG area as an exclusion zone by setting wtg_area.ExclusionArea=True.
