Create Properties in Python

[Sq_TMO]

Hi!

I just stared studying Archicad module for Python and I'm not sure if it's my fault but I can't construct new properties.

from Archicad import ACConnection 

conn = ACConnection.connect()
assert conn

acc=conn.commands
act=conn.types
acu=conn.utilities

group_test = act.PropertyGroup("__Test Group__")

prop_test=act.PropertyDefinition(group_test, "__Test New Property__", "an expectant trial")

print(prop_test)

the result seems to be interesting if I take a look at the Python Palette:

But in the end no property is created...

Am I wrong somewhere?

Many thanks!

Hi!

With your script you only created python objects of the classes "PropertyGroup" and "PropertyDefinition". I think that there are unfortunately no Python/JSON command to create Properties in Archicad.

I think only values of properties can be changed via the Python interface. (https://archicadapi.Graphisoft.com/JSONInterfaceDocumentation/#SetPropertyValuesOfElements)
