How do I get/set profile modifier?

arad — Sat, 23 Oct 2021 03:20:53 GMT

I am using Archicad 23.
I want to get the settings from favorites, but I can't get the values of profile modifier.
How can I get/set the value of all or a specific profile modifier?

Please, help me.

Here is the code.

GSErrCode favtest() { GSErrCode err = NoError; API_Favorite fav = {}; fav.memo.New(); fav.name = "test"; ACAPI_Favorite_Get(&fav); ACAPI_CallUndoableCommand("place element from favorite", [&]() -> GSErrCode { API_Element elem = fav.element; err = ACAPI_Element_Create(&elem, &fav.memo.Get()); if (err != NoError) { ACAPI_WriteReport(ErrID_To_Name(err), true); } ACAPI_DisposeElemMemoHdls(&fav.memo.Get()); return NoError; }); return NoError; }

Hi Arad

I think this is a bug / limitation. I came across this same issue years ago in v22, and it is still not working in v24.. Profile modifiers in favourites are not set when using the API..

I ended up just setting the modifiers manually using "ACAPI_Element_SetProperty"

The Property_Test example is a good place to start if you go down that route.

Hope this Helps..
