Hi is there a way to use Grasshopper to tap into the objects in a custom component the same way you could if you opened the custom component editor? I want to change the value of a UDA of a column object that is the main part of the Custom Component, but when I try using Grasshopper it changes the value of the UDA of the column (main part) of an INSTANCE of the Custom Component that I reference in Grasshopper. If I were to create another instance of that custom component in the Tekla model in the future, the UDA value of the main part of the new instance would be the original value, not the desired (updated) value. I would like the UDA value to be changed for all instances of the custom component in the future without having to open the custom component editor to make the change. The reason for this is that there are hundreds of custom components that we have to change the value of the same UDA of the main part of each one, and opening the editor for each one takes a long time. Thanks
Hi Forrest,
To my knowledge you can’t access the custom component definitions with the API (thus not with GH either).
