Is this possible to do in the AC-GH connection?

I can extract property settings information from existing AC elements and create new elements with custom property settings information in GH, but I don't how how to add more information to existing AC elements via the AC-GH connection

Hi Erick,

 

There is a possible way without using Python. Create the properties in AC and export the list (empty) as Excel file. In Grasshopper you can use the Excelwriter Node (from Luchbox) to refill the Property values with the GH-created values. Afterwards you reimport the Excel file to AC and the values of GH are in. I’ve tried this with Zone Parameters and it worked.
