Advance Steel C# Api Questions
« on: May 31, 2018, 03:03:01 AM »
Hello and thank you for your time.

I just started working with the advance steel api a few weeks ago and apparently i haven't been able to find out a lot of documentation about it. I work with the 2018 version.
I tried to find the answer to some questions on the web but i wasn't able to.

1. Is there a way to get the objects from a 3d model based on an assembly mark filter? I saw that the autocad api has a filter method, but it only works with autocad properties.

2. Is there a way to find out the number of washers/nuts a bolt has?

3. How can you get all the bolts/plates connected to a beam? I see there is a "GetConnectedElements" and a "GetConnectedObjects" method but I'm not really sure how to use those to get what I need.

Also, if you know of an existing documentation that works with the 2018 version of the api I would be grateful if you would let me know. I have the documentation from the advance steel web site and apparently the name of the classes/properties are different from what I get in the api...

Thanks!
