Hi, I'm trying to get elements that have labels or dimension from 2d floorplan. Any ideas how to do this?

Hi!

You could iterate through the labels & dimensions and access their parents / owner elements.

  • For labels the information is in labelElement.label.parent
  • For dimensions it's a bit more tricky. You'll have to iterate through the API_DimBase entries in the memo. There you can access then the parent elements via dimElem.base.base.guid

Best,
Bernd
