Request Layers information

[Anonymous]

Hi everybody,

I'd like to know if there is a REQUEST for layer information, such as "Name_Of_The_Visible_Layers" or "Name_Of_The_Locked_Layers"...?...
Any idea?

Not that I know of. I tried something like that a year or so ago. I think you can only get that through an add-on using the API.

Hi Tom,

I've been studding the REQUEST function, and there is an option of REQUEST thru an Add-on in the AC Add-on Folder... Does anyone here who develops API 's knows witch add-on contains this information? And it would be also nice (if possible) to have the list of all the REQUEST's that we could ask to this add-ons... I think many people here would be VERY HAPPY! to receive this information.

Well, yes and no.

I think the reference is to an add-on that you would create yourself, not one that GS provides.

You can create your own REQUEST functions in an add-on.

Yes Tom, but if some Good Soul API developer's gave us the list of REQUESTs that we could use with their add-ons (if there's any...(REQUESTs)) we didn't have to built a special add-on for that... This is specially for us who doesn't know much about API but can play with GDL...

The only REQUESTs available are those listed in the PDF GDL manual. The add-ons that provide this functionality were written by Graphisoft to be useful to end-users as well as to illustrate some of the potential of of custom add-ons in the GDL environment.

You can be sure that if any developer-created add-ons provide functionality for GDL developers, the documentation from them will describe that. 🙂

Cheers,
Karl
