Good day to everybody. I have a struggle with retrieving the whole data about wall composites that exist in an Archicad project.
Here is the empty Archicad project:
and here is the list of wall composites:
I will be really glad if somebody tells me a way how to get all of the composites without passing an element or guid or any other data to the API. I just want to make a code that would return me the list of all existing wall composites.
Thank you in advance!
Operating system used: Windows 11

I have a schedule built into our template that does that. Nothing was needed outside of the Archicad file to create this.

Do you want to do this with the API or using Schedules, without the use of API?
Doesn't your method require at least one placed element for each Composite for them to be displayed in the Schedule?

In the Attribute Manager (not the Attribute Palette), you can select all of the composites and save as a text file.

Yes, I would like to make it work with the API. I know that such data is stored in Archicad somewhere, but I need that data to be extracted somehow via the API

@Emkave if you need help with the API, please ask your questions in the Developer Hub.

That is correct.
I use it moreso as an audit, to make sure walls don't get added into the project that don't follow the correct naming convention that is needed for our wall tags to work.

OK, in this case, I have moved the topic to the Archicad API forum as that is more relevant.
Hopefully, API gurus will read it there and will be able to help you.

Apologies, I am just pretty new in this community and still need some time to adapt

No worries.
