Refresh Elements LibPart

stahL — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 09:23:50 GMT

Hi everyone,

after I change params of a libPart the changes do not get updated in Archicad right away.

(Even after ReloadLibraries)

ACAPI_LibPart_GetParams(libPart.index, &a, &b, &parNum, &params); ACAPI_LibPart_GetSect_ParamDef(&libPart, params, &a, &b, nullptr, &paramsHdl); ACAPI_LibPart_UpdateSection(libPart.index, &section, paramsHdl, nullptr);

Those parameters change the GDL's 3D Script (if/else), so the element needs to get the new parameters.
Can i force that refresh somehow?

Regards,

stahL

reloading the library won't update the parameters in the already placed objects. the new objects will get the modified parameters. for the already placed objects there are some ways to do that

1. you can use the command "Run Parameter Script" on Placed Library Parts.

2. use the command reset the object settings to default.

there are other ways that were suggested in the following post

Hello there,

Could please tell us if you want to update the library part itself or the placed instances?

Is this library part in the Embedded Library or at some other location in the file system where you can write to?

Do you receive any error code from any of the functions you listed?

Thanks, Akos
