How to programmatically filter parts by part position using the Tekla "Open" API

Here is the problem: we want to filter all parts which have the part position (or "part mark") of "p/2".

How can we do this programmatically?

Check out this code snippet - it assumes you have set up your references and are ready to go!

this.model = new Model();
if (model.GetConnectionStatus())

Pagy jsonapi considerations

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

Get Revision Number of Drawings - Tekla Open API

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;

Tekla - How to select an object in the model using a Tekla Picker

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.Collections.Generic;
