Enumerate Tekla Structures model and drawing objects

Enumerate model objects

The ModelObjectEnumerator class provides the means to iterate through model object instances in the current model.

This example shows how to enumerate all selected objects of Beam type and get the solid information of the beams.

ModelObjectEnumerator Enum =  Model.GetModelObjectSelector().GetAllObjects(); 

while(Enum.MoveNext()) 
{
    Beam B = Enum.Current as Beam; 
    if(B != null) 
    {
        Solid Solid = B.GetSolid(); 
    } 
}

Enumerate drawing objects

The DrawingObjectEnumerator class provides the means to iterate through drawing object instances. Drawing object enumerators are generated by the container view and they contain drawing objects that are children of the container view instance.

This example shows how to enumerate all selected objects in the current drawing and delete them.

DrawingObjectEnumerator AllObjects = CurrentDrawing.GetSheet().GetAllObjects(); 

while(AllObjects.MoveNext()) 
{ 
    if(AllObjects.Current is Line) 
    { 
        AllObjects.Current.Delete(); 
    }
}
