Merged Model Status list

kpjohnson — Mon, 04 Dec 2017 12:17:09 GMT

Hello fellow BIM Baboons!

I would like to have the ability to see a list of files and the dates they were posted for a given merged model. Is this possible. The current method is to use excel and manually type the dates from the glue email notifications. This is too time consuming so the task rarely happens. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

KPJ

Imho it is possible.

Take a look to API reference Manual.

Instances of Model in a Document can be accessed by iterating through Document.Models, which is an instance of DocumentModels.

This class has DocumentModels.CollectionChanged Event that occurs when the collection of Models has changed, so filename and data of change is known.

So you can store somewhere in automatic mode list of files and the dates they were posted for a given merged model.

Hi KJP,

Is this about a model in Glue? Is so, using Glue API might be an option.
