Command for getting and setting a PIO stylename?

[matteoluigi]

Hi,

does there exist a command which get's me a PIO stylename from an object with a handle?
Or do I need a complete other aproach for that?

 

Via a plugin record format? And then, how do I set that stylename?

thx, Matteo

Take a look at GetPluginStyle, GetPluginStyleSymbol, SetPluginStyle

😳 wonder why I didn't find them on my cmd+f search on the developer function reference, I tried with style,..Name,...

 

Maybe I need new glasses (I will fetch my original ones from being fixed ASAP)

[Pat Stanford]

I think I started with a search for "style" and after I found GetPluginStyle I switched to "plugin".  🤷‍♂️

[matteoluigi]

definitely not confused but, well, thanks for your help!!!

[matteoluigi]

hm, now I can read a stylename but how can I change it???

SetPluginStyle assigns a PluginStyle to an object

 

SetWallStyle and SetSlabStyle do the same thing with wall, slab styles

SetName seems only to work on Symbols, my first tries on renaming PIOS, walls, slabs... failed...

still working on it, thought it would be easier 😄

More detail about what you are trying to do please.

 

You want to find the name of a Style and then rename it?

[matteoluigi]

yes, the script I'm writing basically is about checking the object-names.

 

We have a coding-system which assigns ifc-data to objects via the data-manager.

 

I already am able to check componentnames from walls, slabs, roofs.

Now I also want to read symbolnames, PIO-Names, wallstyle, slabstyle, roofstylenames, check them on various purposes (the checking code is already ok and working) and rename the objects.

 

Here a simple example 

def process_objects(obj_handle):
	obj_type = vs.GetTypeN(obj_handle)
	if obj_type == 15:
		symbol_name=vs.GetSymName(obj_handle)
		symbol_names.append(symbol_name) if symbol_name not in symbol_names else None
		sym_handle = vs.GetObject(symbol_name)
		vs.SetName(sym_handle,'SYMBOLTEST2')
		vs.AlrtDialog(symbol_name)

	if obj_type ==68:
		wallstyle_name=vs.GetWallStyle(obj_handle)
		wallstyle_names.append(wallstyle_name) if wallstyle_name not in wallstyle_names else None
		vs.SetName(obj_handle,'WA-A-XXX-XX3')
#		vs.SetWallStyle does only apply a Wall-Style to the object.
		vs.AlrtDialog(wallstyle_name)
		
	if obj_type ==70:
		slabstyle_name=vs.GetSlabStyle(obj_handle)
		slabstyle_name = vs.Index2Name(slabstyle_name)
		slabstyle_names.append(slabstyle_name) if slabstyle_name not in slabstyle_names else None
		vs.SetName(obj_handle,'DE-A-XXX-XX4')
#		vs.SetSlabStyle does only apply a Slab-Style to the object.
		vs.AlrtDialog(slabstyle_name)
		
	if obj_type ==86:
		piostyle_name=vs.GetPluginStyle(obj_handle)
#		piostyle_name = vs.Index2Name(piostyle_name)
		piostyle_names.append(piostyle_name) if piostyle_name not in piostyle_names else None
		vs.SetName(obj_handle,'FE-A-XXX-XX1')
#		vs.SetPluginStyle only applies a PluginStyle to the object and doesn't reset the PluginStyleName
		vs.AlrtDialog(piostyle_name)
			
	if obj_type ==101:
		roofstyle_name=vs.GetRoofStyle(obj_handle)
		roofstyle_name = vs.Index2Name(roofstyle_name)
		roofstyle_names.append(roofstyle_name) if roofstyle_name not in roofstyle_names else None
		vs.SetName(obj_handle,'DA-A-XXX-XX6')
#		vs.SetRoofStyle does only apply a Roof-Style to the object.
		vs.AlrtDialog(roofstyle_name)

# Daten in die Tabelle (Stiltabelle) schreiben
Zeile = 2  # Startzeile (nach den Überschriften)

vs.ForEachObject(process_objects,"((L='TEST'))")

... made it with the name and the setname command ... *confused* at least it worked with a wall-style...

[matteoluigi]

xcuse me, I't mixing up handles which are relating to objects and handles which are relating to resource objects 🙄 sry

[Pat Stanford]

Been there, done that.

 

Glad you got it sorted.
