Customization Python Script - ZONE NUMBERING

Anarchiteckt — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 07:41:11 GMT

Hello Everybody,

I want to give a custom number for every Zone in my Project.

The result should be construct with the Storyname and the zone Number.

XXXX-XXX

Storeyname-Zone Number

How could we customize the Python-Script to insert the Storey name in front of the Zone numbering?

from Archicad import ACConnection from typing import List, Tuple, Iterable from itertools import cycle conn = ACConnection.connect() assert conn acc = conn.commands act = conn.types acu = conn.utilities ################################ CONFIGURATION ################################# propertyId = acu.GetBuiltInPropertyId('Zone_ZoneNumber') propertyValueStringPrefix = '' elements = acc.GetElementsByType('Zone') ROW_GROUPING_LIMIT = 0.25 STORY_GROUPING_LIMIT = 1 def GeneratePropertyValueString(storyIndex: int, elemIndex: int) -> str: return f"{propertyValueStringPrefix}{storyIndex:1d}{elemIndex:02d}" ################################################################################ def generatePropertyValue(storyIndex: int, elemIndex: int) -> act.NormalStringPropertyValue: return act.NormalStringPropertyValue(GeneratePropertyValueString(storyIndex, elemIndex)) def createClusters(positions: Iterable[float], limit: float) -> List[Tuple[float, float]]: positions = sorted(positions) if len(positions) == 0: return [] clusters = [] posIter = iter(positions) firstPos = lastPos = next(posIter) for pos in posIter: if pos - lastPos <= limit: lastPos = pos else: clusters.append((firstPos, lastPos)) firstPos = lastPos = pos clusters.append((firstPos, lastPos)) return clusters boundingBoxes = acc.Get3DBoundingBoxes(elements) elementBoundingBoxes = list(zip(elements, boundingBoxes)) zClusters = createClusters((bb.boundingBox3D.zMin for bb in boundingBoxes), STORY_GROUPING_LIMIT) storyIndex = 0 elemPropertyValues = [] for (zMin, zMax) in zClusters: elemIndex = 1 elemsOnStory = [e for e in elementBoundingBoxes if zMin <= e[1].boundingBox3D.zMin <= zMax] yClusters = createClusters((e[1].boundingBox3D.yMin for e in elemsOnStory), ROW_GROUPING_LIMIT) for ((yMin, yMax), reverseOrder) in zip(yClusters, cycle([False, True])): elemsInRow = [e for e in elemsOnStory if yMin <= e[1].boundingBox3D.yMin <= yMax] for (elem, bb) in sorted(elemsInRow, key=lambda e: e[1].boundingBox3D.xMin, reverse=reverseOrder): elemPropertyValues.append(act.ElementPropertyValue( elem.elementId, propertyId, generatePropertyValue(storyIndex, elemIndex))) elemIndex += 1 storyIndex += 1 acc.SetPropertyValuesOfElements(elemPropertyValues) # Print the result newValues = acc.GetPropertyValuesOfElements(elements, [propertyId]) elemAndValuePairs = [(elements[i].elementId.guid, v.propertyValue.value) for i in range(len(newValues)) for v in newValues[i].propertyValues] for elemAndValuePair in sorted(elemAndValuePairs, key=lambda p: p[1]): print(elemAndValuePair)

Thank in Advance for your Support

Hy,

With Python I don't know… but in GDL it's very easy.
Make a copy of the zone mark object and add these few lines at the beginning of the master script

n = REQUEST ("Home_story", "", index, story_name) num_eta = STR ("%.0m", index) ROOM_NUMBER = story_name + "."+ ROOM_NUMBER

Hy Yves,

Thank you for your solution. It's work very well!!!

After the changing the GDL code, you can run the Python script and print the ROOM NUMBER

Hey Yves,

I just spoked with the User from the Model...

He needs to "Print" the the complete Information in Room number.

With GDL, you can show the Information on the floor plan as a "prefix".

Maybe there are some possibility to made it with Python....
We could create a User Property for the the Story name and print this User Property with a Built-in Property (Roomnummer) Together.

But I have no idea what the Python code should look like....
Does anyone have any ideas?

I believe that the GDL script might be the simpler approach if you could live with the above. But if you wanted to use Python? you would first have to create two custom properties, classified to zones( spaces).

1. An expression returning the Story Name for the zone

2. A custom property to receive the room name.

3. Then configure the zone label to display the custom property -- room name

The Python code would be as follows:

from Archicad import ACConnection import Archicad conn = ACConnection.connect() assert conn acc = conn.commands act = conn.types acu = conn.utilities zoneNumberId = acu.GetBuiltInPropertyId('Zone_ZoneNumber') roomNameId = acu.GetUserDefinedPropertyId('Zone_Names','RoomName') storyNameId = acu.GetUserDefinedPropertyId('Zone_Names','Story_Name') zones = acc.GetElementsByType('Zone') names =[] for element in zones: number = acc.GetPropertyValuesOfElements([element],[zoneNumberId,storyNameId]) name = (number[0].propertyValues[0].propertyValue.value, number[0].propertyValues[1].propertyValue.value) name = name[1]+'-'+name[0] names.append(name) EPVArray = [] for index,obj in enumerate(names): normalname = act.NormalStringPropertyValue(obj, type='string', status='normal') EPV = act.ElementPropertyValue(zones[index].elementId, storyNameId, normalname) EPVArray.append(EPV) result = acc.SetPropertyValuesOfElements(EPVArray) print(result)

Hi Gerry,

Could you maybe help, how would the script look like, if i simply want to replace the zone number with a custom property?

I have a concat expression to automatize the room numbering from different parameters, i just need this actually as the zone number.

Hey @Daniel Pataki

The following will provide you with the necessary:

from Archicad import ACConnection conn = ACConnection.connect() assert conn acc = conn.commands act = conn.types acu = conn.utilities # get all zones (returns GUIDs) elem_all_zones = acc.GetElementsByType('Zone') # returns GUIDs of prop (Built-ins are non-localized) prop_znumber = acu.GetBuiltInPropertyId('Zone_ZoneNumber') # user properties are localized: 'Group', 'Prop Name' # CHANGE THIS: prop_pnumber = acu.GetUserDefinedPropertyId('Allgemeine Werte', 'Raumnummer') propvallist_pnumber = [val.propertyValues[0].propertyValue.value for val in acc.GetPropertyValuesOfElements(elem_all_zones, [prop_pnumber])] for i, elem in enumerate(elem_all_zones): new_zonenumber = act.ElementPropertyValue( elem.elementId, prop_znumber, act.NormalStringPropertyValue(propvallist_pnumber[i])) # write number back acc.SetPropertyValuesOfElements([new_zonenumber])
