Member Function Documentation

◆ activateColorSchemaByName

bool domainBim::AutomationAPI::activateColorSchemaByName ( QString  name)
slot

Activate color scheme with given name (case sensitive). If name is empty, materials will be restored. View will be repainted.

Returns
true if color scheme was activated, else false (e.g. when name does not exist)
See also
resetMaterials(bool emitSignal = true);
Since
2.0.4, 26 oct 2016, sl

◆ activatePropertyTypeBookmark

int domainBim::AutomationAPI::activatePropertyTypeBookmark ( QString  bkmId)
slot
Returns
-1 : Could not activate bookmark
0 : undefined
1 : OK
Since
2.2.4, 27 oct 2018, jh

◆ addObjectListToTooltip

void domainBim::AutomationAPI::addObjectListToTooltip ( QString  idList,
QString  tooltipname 
)
slot

Add object list to tooltip.

Parameters
idListList of objects
tooltipnameName of the tooltip template
Since
1.3.2, 28 mar 2014, jh

◆ addPropertyScript

QVariantMap domainBim::AutomationAPI::addPropertyScript ( QString  domain,
QString  pname,
QString  datatype,
QString  code = QString() 
)
slot
Since
2.5.0, 10 mar 2019, jh

◆ addPropertyTypeBookmark

QString domainBim::AutomationAPI::addPropertyTypeBookmark ( QVariantMap  bookmarkConfig)
slot

Add property type bookmark.

Parameters
bookmarkConfigBookmark config information map. For format description see getPropertyTypeBookmarkByID()
Returns
ID of new bookmark. If the given ID (in the passed object) is already used, a new ID is created.
Since
2.2.4, 27 oct 2018, jh

◆ addRangeToRegion

int domainBim::AutomationAPI::addRangeToRegion ( QString  regionId,
double  fromStation,
double  toStation,
QString  alignmentId = QString() 
)
slot

Add an ADDITIONAL range to a region (a region can have several - possibly disjunct - ranges with the same value).

Parameters
regionIdID of region (will be returned if region is successfully added to an alignment)
fromStationLower bound of range
toStationUpper bound of range
alignmentIdID of alignment. Optional parameter, if given, method is faster, because not all objects have to be searched
Returns
1 success
-1 alignment ID not found
-2 region ID not found
-3 invalid range parameters
Since
2.2.1, 20 apr 2018, sl

◆ addRegionToAlignment

QString domainBim::AutomationAPI::addRegionToAlignment ( QString  alignmentId,
QVariantMap  setting 
)
slot

Add a region with a first given range and value to an alignment (simplified, linear representation of a road or track).
A region is represented by a strip along an alignment with a name, value and color and is used to visualize different properties/data, indicated by a color and a value, along the alignment. Further ranges (which will get the same name, color and value) can be added to this region afterwards. At the beginning of each range, the name and the value set will be drawn (like stations).

Parameters
alignmentIdID of alignment
optionsOptions, given as json object (see below).
See also
addRangeToRegion()

Example

var options =
{
name: 'Test',
range: [100.0,126.5],
value: 123.456,
offset: 2.0,
offsetZ: 0.0,
width: 1.0,
color: '#ff00cc'
}
Returns
ID of region created
-1 alignment ID not found
-3 invalid settings
-4 region range outside range of alignment
Since
2.2.1, 26 apr 2018, sl

◆ addToSelectionSetGeometry

int domainBim::AutomationAPI::addToSelectionSetGeometry ( QString  setId,
QString  objectIDList 
)
slot

Add objects to selection set in domain 'geometry'.

Returns
1 Ok
-1 Selection Set not found in domain 'geometry' -2 Object not found in domain 'geometry'
Since
2.2.2, 28 aug 2018, jh

◆ appendToFile

bool domainBim::AutomationAPI::appendToFile ( QString  filePath,
const QString &  content,
const QString &  encoding = QString() 
)
slot

Append a string to a file. User must not take care of opening and closing the file.

Parameters
filePathName and path of the file to be written. If no path is given, the current project's path will be used.
contentString to be appended to the end of the file
encodingFile encoding, such as "ISO 8859-1", "UTF-8", or "UTF-16" (optional)
Returns
true if file was written successfully, else false
Since
2.0.16, 27 oct 2017, ar
Remarks
2.4.2, 01 mar 2019, ah : changed behavior when no path is given (using project directory instead of application directory)

◆ calcDistance

double domainBim::AutomationAPI::calcDistance ( QString  objId1,
QString  objId2 
)
slot

Calculate distance between two surface objects.

Parameters
objId1ID of first object
objId2ID of second object
Returns
Distance, if no error occurred. If objects intersect, distance is zero.
-1 Could not find objects/wrong type.
Since
2.2.2, 31 aug 2018, sl

◆ calcOOBB

int domainBim::AutomationAPI::calcOOBB ( QString  objIdList,
double  eps = 0.001 
)
slot

Calculate optimized, orientated bounding box (OOBB) of all given geometric objects and set it to them. The bounding box is only calculated and set if an object has no OOBB yet.

Parameters
objIdListIDs of objects to be affected (separated by ';')
epsThreshold for optimization (default: 0.001)
Returns
Number of affected objects
Since
1.5.0, 13 jan 2015, ah
Remarks
2.1.5, 19 jan 2019, sl: extended to handle composites

◆ calcOOBBxy

int domainBim::AutomationAPI::calcOOBBxy ( QString  objIdList,
double  eps = 0.001 
)
slot

Calculate optimized, orientated bounding box in xy-plane (OOBBxy) of all given geometric objects and set it to them. The bounding box is only calculated and set if an object has no OOBBxy yet.

Parameters
objIdListIDs of objects to be affected (separated by ';')
epsThreshold for optimization (default: 0.001)
Returns
Number of affected objects
Since
1.5.0, 13 jan 2015, ah
Remarks
2.1.5, 19 jan 2019, sl: extended to handle composites

◆ calcPropertyValuesOverTime

QVariantMap domainBim::AutomationAPI::calcPropertyValuesOverTime ( QString  propName,
QString  propType,
QVariantMap  options 
)
slot

Calculate property values over time. Returns an object with a list of property values for each day between startDay and endDay.

Options:

var options = {
'StartDay': '2018-09-10',
'EndDay': '2018-09-20',
'VisibleTasks': false, // consider only visible tasks
'CheckInherited': false, // check inherited values
'BaseIndex': 0 // 0 = Work, 1 = Actual Work, 2 = Baseline Work
};
var pv = desiteAPI.calcPropertyValuesOverTime( 'cpCost', 'xs:double', opt );

Check if two geometric objects intersects.

Parameters
objId1: ID of object #1

◆ synchronizeDocumentContainer

int domainBim::AutomationAPI::synchronizeDocumentContainer ( QString  containerId,
QScriptValue  callback = QScriptValue(),
bool  blockExecution = false 
)
slot

Synchronizes a document container with the assigned local directory or webservice. An URL must be set for the container which should be synchronized!

Parameters
containerId: container node ID
callbackWhen synching via webservice, the process will be asynchronous. You can optionally set this callback to be triggered when the sync finishes. The callback function should have one boolean parameter, indicating success (true) or failure (false).
blockExecutionWill only have an effect with a webservice sync. With this flag set to true, script execution will not continue until the synchronisation has finished. This may incur a performance penalty and is generally not recommended. If possible, use a callback function to define post-sync steps instead.
Returns
errCode 1 : ok
0 : undefined
-1 : element with ID 'containerId' could not be found
-2 : element with ID 'containerId' is not a container

Example 1: Non-blocking with callback

function callAfterCompletion(success)
{
if (success) {
console.log('sync completed successfully');
} else {
console.log('sync failed');
}
}
desiteAPI.synchronizeDocumentContainer(id, callAfterCompletion);
