Can't  get the two ids of the column element, only the GUID

OK I've completely misunderstood you before. Now I don't think you were looking for the Element ID property value. So forget what I said before.

Now to your actual problem: Not sure what the other GUID is for. How many GUIDs do you get when you add no element to the project?

I think I can talk about my practical problems from another direction. When I add a column or a beam to a 3D scene, how to directly obtain their geometric information, such as vertices and surfaces?

I've used the ModelAccess API before for something similar. It's not very comfortable to use, but worked in my case. Also unfortunately the examples for it are a bit scarce.

I think the ModelerAPI you've used might be the newer iteration of the interface. But I've not used that yet and I'm really not sure about it's application.

Hope that helps.

Ok, I will find a suitable solution according to the direction you provided. Thank you very much.
