Anonymous — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 13:48:19 GMT

Hi,
how can i add custom properties to an ArchiCad model and preserve those properties through a save, load cycle in AC;
I would like to attach some custom string and numeric data, sort of like BIM info to any chosen part.

Thanks
Dimi

Yes, take a look at ACAPI_Element_SetUserData. This function allows you to attach any data to an element and retrieve it with ACAPI_Element_GetUserData
