I was curious as to when the OpenStudio API retrieves properties with a method or just by directly accessing the property? For example, using a space object conveniently named "space", why is the call to get it's name space.name() where as to get it's spaceType is simply space.spaceType? These both will return optional objects, but the call for the name property is a method. I'm using the C# bindings.
