Save as IFC after file is opened

[rubbcs]

Hi,

I have a process want to do:

1. Open File.pln.

2. Check File.pln is opened and save as IFC by "Do_Save_IfcFile".

3. Quit Archicad. 

I have followed this topic below and try to save as ifc file inside "APINotify_Open" event. 

But "Do_Save_IfcFile" throws error seems the file is not fully opened.

I am using Archicad 26. Any ways I can save as ifc after file is fully opened? Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I'm afraid you cannot call ifc save function during the file opening operation. I'd suggest you to try APINotify_AllInputFinished.

HTH.

Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried "APINotify_AllInputFinished" but still fail with "APIERR_BADWINDOW" message.

Hi,

Please try the following code to see whether you can save as ifc file:

#include	"SaveAndRestoreVariable.hpp"

#include	"ResourceIDs.h"

#define SAVEIFC			'SIFC'

// =============================================================================
//
// Main functions
//
// =============================================================================

GSErrCode __ACENV_CALL SaveIFCFunction(GSHandle /* params */, GSPtr /* resultData */, bool /* silentMode */)
{
	GSErrCode	lastErr = NoError;

	ACAPI_KeepInMemory(true);

	API_ProjectInfo		projectInfo = {};
	lastErr = ACAPI_Environment(APIEnv_ProjectID, &projectInfo);
	if (lastErr != NoError || projectInfo.untitled)
		return APIERR_NOPLAN;

	// Set the output IFC file's locations (it's beside the plan file)
	IO::Name	llName;
	projectInfo.location->GetLastLocalName(&llName);
	llName.DeleteExtension();
	llName.AppendExtension("ifc");
	projectInfo.location->SetLastLocalName(llName);

	// Get a suitable translator
	API_IFCTranslatorIdentifier firstTranslator;
	GS::Array<API_IFCTranslatorIdentifier> ifcExportTranslators;
	lastErr = ACAPI_IFC_GetIFCExportTranslatorsList (ifcExportTranslators);
	if (lastErr != NoError) {
		return APIERR_GENERAL;
	}
	else {
		if (DBVERIFY(!ifcExportTranslators.IsEmpty()))
			firstTranslator = ifcExportTranslators.GetFirst();
	}

	// Set the output parameters
	API_FileSavePars fileSave = {};
	fileSave.fileTypeID = APIFType_IfcFile;
	fileSave.file = projectInfo.location;

	// Set the output parameters for IFC
	API_SavePars_Ifc ifcPars = {};
	ifcPars.subType = API_IFC;

	ifcPars.elementsToIfcExport = API_EntireProject;
	ifcPars.translatorIdentifier = firstTranslator;
	ifcPars.elementsSet = nullptr;

	lastErr = ACAPI_Automate(APIDo_SaveID, &fileSave, &ifcPars);

	return lastErr;
}


static GSErrCode AllInputNotificationHandler(API_NotifyEventID notifID, Int32 /*param*/)
{
	if (notifID == APINotify_AllInputFinished) {
		API_ModulID mdid = {};
		mdid.developerID	= MDID_DEVELOPER_ID;
		mdid.localID		= MDID_LOCAL_ID;
		ACAPI_Command_CallFromEventLoop(&mdid, SAVEIFC, 1L, nullptr, false, nullptr);
	}

	ACAPI_KeepInMemory(true);

	return NoError;
}

It's work. Thank you so much.
