	Connectable

		The generic type for most objects in Layout.

		Objects of the following types are all connectables :

		.. toctree::
			:maxdepth: 1

			primitive
			hierarchy
			terminal

	Zone

		Multizone stackups allow a design to be divided into areas called zones.

		Each zone contains a subset of layers available to the entire circuit board and is spatially defined by polygons on the Outline layer.

	ValueLike

		Any of the following data types that represents a numeric value

		- :obj:`int`
		- :obj:`float`
		- :obj:`complex`
		- :obj:`str` for expressions ('1nm', 'x + 1' etc)
		- :class:`Value <ansys.edb.core.utility.value.Value>`

	Point2DLike

		Any of the following data types that represents (x, y) point on a 2D coordinate system.

		- :class:`PointData <ansys.edb.core.geometry.point_data.PointData>`
		- (:term:`ValueLike`, :term:`ValueLike`) or any other iterable with 2 :term:`ValueLike` inside

	Point3DLike

		Any of the following data types that represents (x, y, z) point on a 3D coordinate system.

		- :class:`Point3DData <ansys.edb.core.geometry.point3d_data.Point3DData>`
		- (:term:`ValueLike`, :term:`ValueLike`, :term:`ValueLike`) or any other iterable with 3 :term:`ValueLike` inside

	Triangle3DLike

		(:term:`Point3DLike`, :term:`Point3DLike`, :term:`Point3DLike`)

	RoughnessModel

		A Groisse roughness model is represented by a single value containing the roughness value.
		A Huray roughness model is represented  by a tuple of the form [nodule_radius_value, surface_ratio_value]

		:obj:`Union <typing.Union>`\[:term:`ValueLike`, (:term:`ValueLike`, :term:`ValueLike`)]

	HFSSSolverProperties

		HFSS solver properties are represented by a tuple of the form [dc_thickness_type, dc_thickness_value, solve_inside_enabled]

		(:class:`DCThicknessType <ansys.edb.core.layer.stackup_layer.DCThicknessType>`, :term:`ValueLike`, :obj:`bool`)

	HFSSExtents

		Extent box around the design, represented by a :obj:`dict` with the following key:values

		| **dielectric**: (:obj:`float`, :obj:`bool`)
		| 	Dielectric extent size. First parameter is the value and second parameter indicates if the value is a multiple.
		| **airbox_horizontal**: (:obj:`float`, :obj:`bool`)
		| 	Airbox horizontal extent size. First parameter is the value and second parameter indicates if the value is a multiple.
		| **airbox_vertical_positive**: (:obj:`float`, :obj:`bool`)
		| 	Airbox positive vertical extent size. First parameter is the value and second parameter indicates if the value is a multiple.
		| **airbox_vertical_negative**: (:obj:`float`, :obj:`bool`)
		| 	Airbox negative vertical extent size. First parameter is the value and second parameter indicates if the value is a multiple.
		| **airbox_truncate_at_ground**: :obj:`bool`
		| 	Whether airbox will be truncated at the ground layers.
