It is not the Level Name I am after but the Level Description, as that, in my case, contains relevant information I need to export to IFC. Is it a two step process? I mean, can I get the Level Description if I know the Level Name…

Mangesh.Shelar, can you throw any light on this issue?

Do you know if there is a way to define the output filename so the user is not presented the "Save File" dialog?

Good Idea!  That's a hint to post your suggestion to MicroStation Ideas.

Perhaps Colin Wang or Mangesh.Shel…

that part is working (extracting the cell coordinates), but I also want the Item Types associated with the cells

Here's your DGN file with added Report definitions.

Hi Tilman,

a few more comment to what Mangesh.Shelar wrote, as my experience from trainings I did in the past is that some topics around EC and related API are not always clear (especially what functionality is available in what situation).

I do not know…

It only shows the error when you click on three dots

Hi Damian,

I checked WPFDEMO example I assume you used as a template for your code, and there is exactly the same problem.

So I guess it's about to report this issue using Service Request, and also to people like Robert Hook or Mangesh.Shelar who…

I have raised a request with Mangesh.Shelar and Sanjivani Ichake to produce a Blog to explain the operation of this Item Type Expression.

Query Language

Robert Jones said:

It just seemed to me there is enough info in the active model for an expression to produce a basic sequential instance value

This is another occasion where a query language for EC Schemas and Item Types would be useful…

I want to return the coordinates of the associated item

The coordinates of an element are properties of that element.  You can use an element property in an Item Type expression using something like this...

this.Element().Origin.X

Thanks to…

Hi John,

I think the information about changed properties is not tracked. I guess it's because ECInstance is written as the whole, so such event can represent one property change as well as complete update of the whole structure.

As Mangesh.Shela…

What about if we provide a "Distinct" operation in highlighted UI, will this help?

Good suggestion!

That would be great!

Post that Idea to the Ideas Forum.  That will record the date of Mangesh.Shelar's…
