v1alpha/elements

Create an element with geometry.

The element data is similar to the elements in the element system, but with some changes, the most important one being a different geometry format. The elements can have a hierarchy of children with inline and remote references to other elements.

Note that the ID you can set on an element is just used for the remote references. The elements that are created will get new IDs. So to use a remote reference, set the elementId of the reference to the same as the ID of an element you have anywhere else in the list of elements you post or in the hierarchy of the root element.

If the element is georeferenced, you can specify a coordinate system and ref point in the geoReference field under properties on the root element. The local coordinates in the geometry should be relative to this ref point.

Deprecated. Please migrate to v2.
