Missing information in the documentation

[Karl_O]

So, I've recently started to try out scripts for the Archicad python wrapper. I have relatively little experience in coding. However. I've succeded in creating a script that extracts given properties from zones in a project och print them out in a word document via the python-docx library.

I keep coming back to the python documentation for archicad and do searches for commands that could give me the data that I'm trying to retrive. I've also salvaged existing scripts provided by graphisoft and found functions that have helped me in what I'm trying to achive.

Here is the big question. In these two functions (salvaged from existing scripts) below, we have "Zone_Zone_Number" and in the next we have "General_ElementID".

GetBuiltInPropertyValues([room], 'Zone_ZoneNumber').get(room, '-')

acu.GetBuiltInPropertyId('General_ElementID')

They seem to retrive exactly what they say, however, I can't find anything about them in your documentation. Which leads me to think that there is so much more information that I don't have access to at all.. I've scavaged the internet.

Am I wrong about something or is everyone else also missing a lot of information in the documentation provided by graphisoft?

Hi Karl,

that info is "stashed away" under the GetAllPropertyNames() command.

See here.

My guess: They didn't wanted to overburden the documentation with something that can change.

I've put all of these into a file so I can just "cmd+F" for future reference.

Thanks alot!

It will be much easier for me continue digging into this.
