Can Renovation status be used for different 2D scripting?

Mats_Knutsson — Wed, 15 Sep 2021 07:44:44 GMT

Thinking of trees and using renovation filters... new tree, existing, to be removed... I would like the 2D script to use renovation status....is is possible and/or doable?

Seems like an important missed variable in GDL. The only apparent access is through Autotext values but I think this is restricted to certain applications such as TEXT2.

Built-in Properties
These commands return the folder names, parameter names and parameter values of built-in properties on the "Classification and Properties"
tabpage (ID and Categories, Renovation, IFC Properties).

I never tried, but perhaps Build-in Properties can do the trick. (Page 519)

Hmm..would be interesting to see if it can be used. I'm not that much into GDL to understand how i would use it.

It works but you will get a localized string.
Would be nice if Graphisoft could offer a global integer parameter (-1; 0; 1)

From gdl.graphisoft.com:

DIM folderNamesArray[]
n = APPLICATION_QUERY ("OwnCustomParameters", "GetParameterFolderNames()", folderNamesArray)

for i = 1 to vardim1(folderNamesArray) step 3

    DIM parNamesArray[]
    querystring = "GetParameterNames(" + folderNamesArray + ")"
    n = APPLICATION_QUERY ("OwnCustomParameters", querystring, parNamesArray)
    text2 0, 0, querystring
    add2 1, -1

    _nLines = 1
    for j = 1 to vardim1(parNamesArray) step 3

        parValue = ""
        querystring = "GetParameter(" + parNamesArray + ")"
        n = APPLICATION_QUERY ("OwnCustomParameters", querystring, parValue)
        text2 0, 0, querystring + ": " + parValue
        add2 0, -1
        _nLines = _nLines + 1

    next j

    del _nLines
    add2 0, -_nLines

next i

so in short

renoStatus = ""
_r = APPLICATION_QUERY ("OwnCustomParameters", "GetParameter(Renovation.RenovationStatus)", renoStatus)

text2 0, 0, renoStatus

Cheers

Thx.
With my very tiny GDL skills I cad get the code to display reonvation status with the renoStatus parameter. How can I connect an IF THEN ELSE to use the status? IF renoStatus = "New" THEN....circle 0,0,1 ELSE IF...etc

Yes. exactly like that



renoStatus = ""
_r = APPLICATION_QUERY ("OwnCustomParameters", "GetParameter(Renovation.RenovationStatus)", renoStatus)

if renoStatus = "New" then !! <- String is localized. So in your case it should be "Ny"
    !do something

else
    !some code

endif

Important: the returned string is localized. So in your case it should be "Ny"

Thanks Dominic! Much appreciated.
And thank you Mats for posting your question.
And I agree... It would be better if the parameter was a global integer.
Though I think the whole Renovation Status should be incorporated to the Properties.
And finally, introducing the Model Filter View Option.
Cheers,

Many thanks Dominic!
I got it to work . Now I need to get the symbols from our landscapers and start coding.

We strongly don't like the dubious interaction between Renovation filters, MVO and GO. Polish parliament kind of.
