Hello everyone,
Currently, I’m trying to retrieve information (such as the lines that form it or an image) for the following two attributes of an object using the ArchiCAD API:

  • 2D Symbol

  • 3D Back View

Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Thank you very much for reading my post!

Hi, Could you check ACAPI_LibraryPart_ShapePrims() command? It's used to get object 2D drawing of symbol on floor plan and S/E view.
Unfortunately there is no examples code in API kit, but you can find similar code which is using ACAPI_DrawingPrimitive_ShapePrims().
