Tekla Object Pipeline query

Grasshopper Tekla
1

Hiya,

Just a quick question to be sure and to not mess things up.

When using ‘Tekla Object Pipeline’, it says ’ the order of the returned objects is not guaranteed to stay the same between sessions.', but in the same session, if I use ‘Get Property’ several times connected to that ‘Tekla Object Pipeline’, the index will represent always the same element in Tekla?

For example, in several lists obtained in several ‘Get Property’ connected to the same ‘Tekla Object Pipeline’ that filters beam main parts:

  • ALL index 1 will be data from the same beam? and ALL index with number, for example, 23, will be data from the same beam?
  • And if some of the beam doesn’t have a property, will it appear in the same index but with ‘null’?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Yes, once you are in GH the order of elements in lists is maintainted as long as you don’t do fancy data tree manipulations.
The only thing is that the order of the list taken out from the Tekla filter may vary. Especially if you add or remove elements.

It’s the same thing when using Elefront’s Reference by … components.
