Updating a tekla Components Attributes

Hi all,

I have Grasshopper inserting a couple of custom components for which I have some standard attribute Files that I have added the name to grasshopper component, but the component doesnt Update to suit the files variables

Is there a way to get the component to update and use the Attribute file ?

Thanks in advance for any help

He Greg,

Unplug the Attributes wire and test, you’re probably feeding it contradictive data, ie the same parameter in the attribute file as in the attibutes

Better way to do it is to load the setting on a component in the model, deconstruct it and save all the attributes from it, then you use a replace function in the text to swap out the attributes you want to change for each component.

Hope that makes sense.

Oscar,

Even when I plug the Attfile in by itself it doesnt update.

Which leads me to believe its a problem with the Attfile (which I wrote from a spreadsheet a few years back with pre-engineered sizes)

I’m thinking I’ll just import the attfile as a text list and find and replace the varaibles.

Thanks for your help

Hi Greg,

Sound like a good plan.

You can also load old file manually and then hit save as with a new name and compare the two file so see if there’s a change?
