• We could use native AutoCAD methods to further simplify - this is just a 'hello world' proof of concept.

        [CommandMethod("TestCoordinates2")]
        public void TestCoordinates2()
        {
            Point3d p0 = new Point3d(0, 2, 0); // plane points
            Point3d p1 = new Point3d(0, 2, 1); // plane points

The Old Way

class QuotesController < ApplicationController  

  def index   
    # assuming jsonapi extra is enabled
    @pagy, @quotes = pagy(Quote.all) 

    # this will fail if we are using a html pagy_nav helper

Post build plugin in visual studio.

Watch out - change the version ID to suit your Tekla version!

set envDir=2022.0\Environments\common\extensions\TestWPFBeamPlugin

set pluginsDir=2022.0\nt\bin\plugins\TestWPFBeamPlugin

set tsDirA=D:\Program Files\Tekla Structures\

Using Stimulus JS to POST

Whenever you use pagy links that require interception, you will need to reinitialise any javascript that you need to run. If you submit a form, and use a turbo frame to render those search results, and to also render the pagination links to those results, how are you going to reinitialize your javascript code to intercept those pagy page links?

Stimulus JS is very handy for reinitialising javascript code, and is useful if you are using a library like hotwire (by Basecamp) where changes are made to the DOM.

// pagy_controller.js - a stimulus JS controller
import { Controller } from "@hotwired/stimulus"

The Tekla API is not very open - one of my peeves is that you cannot access a drawing's revision number, because it is not exposed. Not to worry, you can access it with a hack:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

This is a console application.

You will need to install the approriate dlls from Tekla. This can now be down via a Nuget package:

We want to select a single object in the model using a picker. Here is some sample code. You can of course, configure this to select model objects if you wish.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
