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;
using System.Collections.Generic;
   <div class="input-group"
     data-pagy="WyJjb21ibyIsIjxhIGhyZWY9XCIvZm91bmRhdGlvbj9wYWdlPV9fcGFneV9wYWdlX18mYW1wO2l0ZW1zPTIwXCIgICBzdHlsZT1cImRpc3BsYXk6IG5vbmU7XCI+PC9hPiJd">
     <a style="margin-bottom: 0"
       class="prev button primary disabled"
-      href="#">‹&nbsp;Prev</a><span class="input-group-label"><label>Page <input
-          class="input-group-field cell shrink"
-          type="number"
