Handle to selected object in a wall

[Peter Vandewalle]

I'm trying to get a handle to a selected object in a wall.

 

When I select a PIO object in a wall (in this case a pilaster) and I run this script:

def apply_code_to_objects(hObj):
    vs.AlrtDialog(f"Obj: {vs.GetTypeN(hObj)} in {vs.GetTypeN(vs.GetParent(hObj))}")


vs.ForEachObject(apply_code_to_objects, "(INSYMBOL & INOBJECT & NOTINDLVP & NOTINREFDLVP & (VSEL=TRUE))")

I get "Obj: 68 in 31", where 68 is wall and 31 is a design layer.

 

I can't find a way to get a handle to the selected pilaster though...

 

Any ideas?

you'd have to do a deep search, for objects within the wall:

try this:

 

def apply_code_to_objects(hObj):
    object_type = vs.GetTypeN(hObj)
    object_parent_type = vs.GetTypeN(vs.GetParent(hObj))
    
    if object_type == 68: # Check if object is a wall, search within wall
        h2 = vs.FIn3D(hObj) # Get handle to first object within the wall object using FIn3D
        while h2 != None:
            if vs.Selected(h2): # If object within is selected
                if vs.GetTypeN(h2) in [86]: #If type is plugin object (86 = Plugin Object) 
                    object_type = vs.GetTypeN(h2) # store object_type as vs.GetTypeN of this selected object within the wall
                    break # break while loop
            h2 = vs.NextObj(h2) # else move onto next object within wall
    
    vs.AlrtDialog(f"Obj: {object_type} in {object_parent_type}")

vs.ForEachObject(apply_code_to_objects, "(INSYMBOL & INOBJECT & NOTINDLVP & NOTINREFDLVP & (VSEL=TRUE))")
