Lookup and UDA properties

 

Lookup in TeklaStructures. Getting UDA properties for a model object element

The Lookup, which was described in the previous post, has been got a new function. Obviously it's possible to get from ModelObject not only it's public and private properties, fields, etc. but through a bunch of GetUserProperty() methods also get values from user defined attributes. And I thought that's this function would be very useful for users.

Tekla Structures and Lookup

I suppose, that all who develops application for Revit and AutoCAD, knows such plugins as RevitLookup, ARXDBG and MGDDBG. These apps can seriously help to understand an object API model of the program, and also to see what hide under hood of the program. 

Unfortunately for the Tekla Structures it's impossible to find something which would be match by its functions on the Tekla's Warehouse. Of course this doesn't interfere a process of software developing, but if such application would exist it definitely helps in work.

If anybody didn't invent bicycle, yet, I will be the first in this direction. Meet the application for the Tekla Structures - Lookup.
