Automated takeoff assigmnets from Search sets

Hi,

 

I'm new to the Naviswork API and I have a task to do.

 

I have a list of Search sets pre defined by a user (called: "Filter1....Filter999")

I have a list of labels in the Quantification (Lets say also called Filter1...Filter999),

 

Atm what the user is doing is clicking on "filter1", clicking on the same label in the quantification window, and press Take off to assign those objects

to that label.

 

Is there a way to automaticly do that using the API? Based on a name (assign objects from Search set name X to qunatification label name X).

 

I'm a programmer, but my knowledge in Navisworks is limited.

Your description, it looks similar to the article as below:

Please review that article.
Hope it will help you!

This way is exist.

In couple words:

using API you should get ModelItems from Selection Set and insert ones into Qantification data base using ObjectTable.InsertModelItemTakeoff method.
