Getting a path from selected lines

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I am trying to create a script to draw pipes along an existing path composed of intersecting lines in 3D.

Creating the pipe itself works well, but I have a problem getting the path in.

Does anyone know how to retrieve the information from selected items in a GDL script ?

It should existe and probably be obvious, but being new to it, I am probably missing something.

Thanks for your advice.

I'm assuming you want an object to create a path based on elements you've selected with the Arrow Tool or Shift-clicking them. If so, GDL doesn't let you retrieve information from elements you have selected. You'd have to write something with the API (in C++) to do that.

Thank you for this reply, Tom.

The whole idea behind my previous request is to quickly layout the pipes path on the floor plan and define the requested slope in the object to automate the 3D drawing.

I guess we will currently stick to the pipe objects we have designed and have a look at the API in the near future (v12), unless someone has a better idea, of couse.

Thnaks & best regards,
