Hi,

As said, currently no API to access Simulation of Timeliner. I did not try, but since TimeLiner API is available and you can access the info of the TimeLiner task  & attached elements & planned/actual date & construction/demolish  , I think you could check the date yourself to know which elements should be visible/invisible in the specific date.

Hi

How to access the Timeliner document using timeliner API? Can you please give me some tips on how to approach the problem.

What i need to do is a plugin to check the safety of the multistory building being constructed.

for that i need to access the timeliner document.

from that check the dates and obtain  all the elements visible till that date.

take each element and check for the geometry and fall protection systems deployed till the currrent date.

Am i right?
