But don't have time to confirm right now.</P> Mon, 08 Jul 2024 09:02:13 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/How-to-set-the-Height-of-an-Object-through-code/m-p/614547#M9635 BerndSchwarzenbacher 2024-07-08T09:02:13Z Re: How to set the Height of an Object through code https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/How-to-set-the-Height-of-an-Object-through-code/m-p/614549#M9637 <P>Yep A, B, ZZYZX sets the dimensions of an object.

Will editing that affect the all the object instances or just a single instance?</P> Mon, 08 Jul 2024 10:23:31 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/How-to-set-the-Height-of-an-Object-through-code/m-p/614567#M9638 kency 2024-07-08T10:23:31Z Re: How to set the Height of an Object through code https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/How-to-set-the-Height-of-an-Object-through-code/m-p/614572#M9639 <P>No you don't have to edit the library object itself. You have to change the parameters value for a specific object (which has reference to the relevant library object). The parameters for a specific object are part of the Element Memo of that object.<BR />This way you can change single instances.</P> Mon, 08 Jul 2024 10:35:14 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/How-to-set-the-Height-of-an-Object-through-code/m-p/614572#M9639 BerndSchwarzenbacher 2024-07-08T10:35:14Z Re: How to set the Height of an Object through code https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/How-to-set-the-Height-of-an-Object-through-code/m-p/614580#M9640 <P>It depends on what you want to achieve. Editing the library part is rarely needed. Usually placed instances need to be updated.</P><P>You can use the ACAPI_Element_Get and ACAPI_Element_GetMemo functions to retrieve parameters.</P><P>In the API_ElementMemo structure there is the "params" array, that need to be updated.</P><P>If you install the devkit there should be an examples folder which uses these structures quite a lot. There is the Element_Test sample, and for example the Element_Modify_ChangeParameters.cpp in the project. There you can find ways to iterate through the parameters of an object instance.</P> Mon, 08 Jul 2024 10:55:27 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/How-to-set-the-Height-of-an-Object-through-code/m-p/614580#M9640 eptar 2024-07-08T10:55:27Z Re: How to set the Height of an Object through code https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/How-to-set-the-Height-of-an-Object-through-code/m-p/614689#M9643 <P>Thank you this worked.</P> Tue, 09 Jul 2024 07:08:05 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/How-to-set-the-Height-of-an-Object-through-code/m-p/614689#M9643 kency 2024-07-09T07:08:05Z
