Hi all ![Smile]()
I want to register library parts that i receive from a distant server as .gsm files. I copy the gsm file locally on the computer and then i want to "register" the libpart.
This works if i give the "typeID" and the path to the local file like here :
| Code: |
libPart.typeID = APILib_ObjectID;
libPart.location = &myGsmFilePath;
err = ACAPI_LibPart_Register(&libPart);
if(err == NoError)
{
...
} |
But...it doesn't work anymore when i don't provide the typeID.
I mean...the libPart.location information is not enough.
How can i know what is the typeID of a libpart in a gsm file ?

Well I know 11 years have passed since this was posted, but I'd like to revive this discussion!
This is a huge headache for us since several of our multi-family projects have multiple buildings. We have been using the attribute manager to manually keep each building's attribute in sync, but if a mistake is made then it can become quite the nightmare.
I wish ArchiCAD had the option to look to another solo or teamwork file for attributes. So for example, I wish we could designate one building in the project (for example "building 1") as the attribute master file, and have the other buildings read attributes from it automatically.
I realize that you can have the attribute manager "see inside" other .pln files, but that is not automatically updating and it cannot "see inside" a teamwork file.

Yes, this is still an issue.
I agree, designation of one PLN file as the master in this regard would be helpful.
Or, a number of PLN files could be grouped, and an attribute change in any of them would be updated in all of them.
Of course, it would not be that simple. For example, when one of these files is open by the user, an alert would appear to tell him that attributes have changed and what this change is, and ask if he wants to update his file.
If a file is not open, it could be updated automatically.
Maybe this could be a function of the BIM Server.

Hi
Today I tried to compile my add-on by DevKit19 for Archicad19
In my code I have a progress bar logic.
It's working fine in Archicad 18 but in Archicad19 it crashes
Here is the exact code where it crashes
| Code: |
| ACAPI_Interface (APIIo_InitProcessWindowID, "Connecting ... ", &nPhase); |
Thanks in advnace.

Title parameter is GS::UniString in AC19.
May be it is a reason.

Hi all ![Smile]()
I try to get the currently selected library part.
I mean the object selected (in green) by user in the current model.
I have tried following code but it doesn't seem to work ![Sad]()
| Code: |
GSErrCode err;
// Get selected elements
API_SelectionInfo selectionInfo;
API_Neig **selNeigs;
err = ACAPI_Selection_Get (&selectionInfo, &selNeigs, false);
if (err == NoError)
{
if (selectionInfo.typeID != API_SelEmpty)
{
UInt32 ii, nSel;
nSel = BMGetHandleSize ((GSHandle) selNeigs) / sizeof (API_Neig);
for (ii = 0; ii < nSel && err == NoError; ii++)
{
GS::UniString selectedGuid = APIGuidToString((*selNeigs)[ii].guid);
API_NeigID selectedID = (*selNeigs)[ii].neigID;
API_Element element;
BNZeroMemory (&element, sizeof (API_Element));
element.header.guid = (*selNeigs)[ii].guid;
err = ACAPI_Element_Get(&element);
if(err == NoError)
{
// Find the library part
API_LibPart libpart;
BNZeroMemory (&libpart, sizeof (libpart));
libpart.index = element.object.libInd;
err = ACAPI_LibPart_Search (&libpart, false);
if (err == NoError)
{
double aParam = 0.0;
double bParam = 0.0;
Int32 paramNum = 0;
API_AddParType** addPars = NULL;
err = ACAPI_LibPart_GetParams (libpart.index, &aParam, &bParam, ¶mNum, &addPars);
if (err == NoError)
{
for (Int32 i = 0; i < paramNum; i++)
{
if(CHCompareCStrings ("BimObject id", (*addPars)[i].name) == 0)
{
std::wstring objectUrl = L"xxx";
ShowPlatform(objectUrl);
BMKillHandle ((GSHandle *) &selNeigs);
return;
}
}
}
}
}
}
BMKillHandle ((GSHandle *) &selNeigs);
}
} |
What am i doing wrong in this code ?
(this is a quick and dirty testing code)

Take a look at the ModelAccess API. There is an example called ModelAccess_Test. There doesn't appear to be any documentation though.
If this isn't suitable, you can still use the old 3D Manager, e.g ACAPI_Element_Get3DInfo.

Hi recently I got a trial license of ArchiCAD. After that I cant able to load any add-ons. I had a look at the below link and fallow the steps mentions to load a add-on for a trial version of ArchiCAD. But no luck. Can any on one details explain step by step process.

I highly recommend trying to build and run one of the example projects bundled with the API first. It's a good way to get started, and can be used as a benchmark if your own projects don't work.

Hi all ![Smile]()
Are there some API's for managing .lcf container files ?
I want to extract .gsm files contained in an container to affect some parameters (by example).

There are no API commands to do this. You can call the XML converter (LP_XMLConverter) to pack or unpack a .LCF, but I wouldn't do this from an add-on if you want to change parameters. An add-on should treat a .LFC as a locked container.

Hello there, I'm trying to find an operation that allows the user to freely use the GUI while my plug-in is running.
For example, my plug-in starts by clicking on a button on the top menu, after that it establishes a connection with another application, and I want the user to be able to use the GUI while that connection is maintained by the plug-in.
Currently I have a loop that peeks into the communication channel to know if there is something do, if not it continues trying. This is where I would like the ability to allow the user to freely use the GUI.
Does anyone know if there is a way to achieve this functionality?
Thank you in advance.

When I try to switch current database to newly created worksheet, I get APIERR_BADDATABASE (The command cannot be executed on the current database). The worksheet is sucessfully created but changing database fails. What am I doing wrong here??
| Code: |
GSErrCode err;
API_DatabaseInfo dbInfo;
BNZeroMemory (&dbInfo, sizeof (API_DatabaseInfo));
dbInfo.typeID = APIWind_WorksheetID;
CHANSI2Unicode ("Det 1", (GS::Int32)strlen("Det 1"), dbInfo.name, API_UniLongNameLen);
CHANSI2Unicode ("D10", (GS::Int32)strlen("D10"), dbInfo.ref, API_UniLongNameLen);
if (ACAPI_Database (APIDb_NewDatabaseID, &dbInfo, NULL) == NoError) {
err = ACAPI_Database (APIDb_ChangeCurrentDatabaseID, &dbInfo, NULL);
}

We need to get geometry and parameters for each elements from ArchiCAD. Geometry like extrude, revolve, polygons etc. Kindly lets us know which API we should use to get the information's (GDL or General API).

The extrusion profile(s) for a wall with a custom profile can be retrieved from the profile attributes. Take a look at the documentation for API_ProfileAttrType and API_AttributeDefExt. You will need to calculate an extrusion profile for other types of walls, i.e. the API won't give you one.

You need to open the window this database after creation, before the database using.
( I dont check it in last APIs, may be it changed ).
ACAPI_Automate( APIDo_ChangeWindowID, &m_db, NULL );
