GDL - How can I get user-defined properties?

1. create DoorStyleName

Displaying Properties with Labels | GRAPHISOFT GDL Center

I am trying to read this value from Marker.

Is it possible?
However, even if you look at the contents, the solution is not explained, so I would appreciate it if you could tell me where to start studying.

Do you mean the actual property which is set in the building component or do you mean the 4 Values from the options setup?
GS says: Only the actual property value can be accessed from GDL, the other choices aren’t visible.

I want to bring only the values I selected.

Here in myProperty parameter function
_parentProperties with ui_custom_popup_infield
You can manually select what you want from among the
It looks like you put it in the myProperty parameter function.

Among the values in dim _parentProperties, I want to search for "DoorStyleName" and automatically insert that value into the myProperty parameter.

If the name of the property is known, ui_custom_popup_infield is not needed.

REQUEST ("Properties_Of_Parent") returns all the available properties: using that you can match the known name to an ID, which can be used with REQUEST ( "Property_Value_Of_Parent") to get the value.

I think it will be easier to understand if you see the code. Please excuse me if I am not rude.

If you whant seach property by name - you can try this macro. Macro find all gdl parameter or property name in string and replace it with value. You can also see a sample code for reading a search by properties (by the label "getPropertyValue").

Exemple of door marker here

Maker.gsm was successful.

I am testing on door.gsm's mater stript.

What's wrong?

n = REQUEST ("Property_Value_Of_Parent", nID, _type, _dim1, _dim2, _propertyValues) !!! n is 0

propInputIds.propertyIds[1].id = nID n = REQUEST ("Property_Values_Of_Parent", propInputIds, propOutputVals) !!! n is 0 text2 0,0,propOutputVals.propertyValues[1].value[1]

("Properties_Of_Parent") also works with door / window GDL.
By the way, REQUEST("Property_Value_Of_Parent") only works for markers.
Is there a function that can obtain property values in door / window GDL? Or is it not possible to get property values from door/ window GDL?

It is not possible to get an element's own properties, except IFC properties with

application_query("OwnCustomParameters")

I couldn't change the value in the schedule because I used parameters to select characters such as PD, ASD, and WD.
So, I used the property to select the type in the schedule. But there is a downside here.
In the Marker, even if property values such as PD can be read, if they cannot be read in the Door, the options that must be entered by the type such as FSD cannot be used....

You have to wait for the parameterized character selection to be available in the schedule, or wait for the property to be read in door.gsm. So thanks for the answers.

I am trying in something similar.
However, with a label, I want to access the self-created properties of a building material, however, I do not manage to do so
My question is on the one hand, where do I find the property ID?
Further the question arises for me, what I do wrong in the following line
n = REQUEST("COMPONENT_PROPERTY_VALUES_OF_PARENT", inputProp, compPropVals)

Code:

dict parent dict collectSkins ! Create input dict for components collectSkins.collectMode = 1 ! All BM Components should be collected cIDRes = request ("Component_IDs_Of_Parent", collectSkins, parent) dict inputProp dict parent dict collectSkins ! Create input dict for components collectSkins.collectMode = 1 ! All BM Components should be collected cIDRes = request("Component_IDs_Of_Parent", collectSkins, parent) dict inputProp if cIDRes and HASKEY(parent.componentIds) then _nParentComponents = vardim1(parent.componentIds) for iBmat = 1 to _nParentComponents inputProp.componentId.id = parent.componentIds[iBmat] ! Set the desired property ID inputProp.propertyIds[1].id = "C1F93BB6-BBCB-4934-BCE2-4EE9372BD48A" dict compPropVals n = REQUEST("COMPONENT_PROPERTY_VALUES_OF_PARENT", inputProp, compPropVals) if n = 1 then String = compPropVals.propertyValues[1].value[1] text2 0, 0, String else ! Die Abfrage ist fehlgeschlagen text2 0, 0, "Fehler bei der Abfrage" endif next iBmat endif

Hi,

Use the Library developer menu / always send GDL messages to get all available error messages.

For your code I get "Invalid request input. Error in dictionary: COMPONENTID.ID: not accepted type"
The output of Component_IDs_Of_Parent has more structure, you need to use

inputProp.componentId.id = parent.componentIds[iBmat].id

You can get the component property IDs with request(COMPONENT_PROPERTIES_OF_PARENT) or request(COMPONENT_PROPERTY_TREE_OF_PARENT).

COMPONENT_PROPERTY_TREE_OF_PARENT used with ui_custom_popup_infield can store the ID of one selected property in a string parameter, see example 2 in the GDL reference guide.

Using data from COMPONENT_PROPERTIES_OF_PARENT you can search for the ID of a known property name.
