begin
//Get Planswift Interface

// Get the Takeoff Folder (Estimating Tab in Planswift);

//Create a New Area Item in the Estimating Tab
Area := Est.NewItem('Area','Get Rect Demo');
//Create a new Section for the Area
sect := Area.NewSection('Get Rect Demo Section');
//Call the Get Rect functions

//Get the two points from the iLine Returned by the GetRect function
pt1 := psline.Point1;
