hello everyone!,
I'm new in GC, and I'm learning from the "GenerativeComponents Essential Training from Bentley institute" and I found a bug in the tutorial.
this one appear in the chapter "Simple Tower", that explain how to use a ExcelRange feature but this feature doesn't exist in the Feature type list. In the help menu, appear the topic "Use of microsoft Excel with Generative Components" but it is in progress.
in the Feature type list there are a feature called DataExporter. but I couldn't export my areas to excel.
therefore, can anyone help me with a clue to continue?
my version of GC is: 08090550
best and thanks in advance.
Carlos de la Barrera.
Go to pull down menu tools -> manage loaded features->select precompiled assembly files->navigate to your installed folder in "programfiles\bentley\Generativecomponents\assemblies\ " select "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll" and load it . If you would like to have the dll loaded in all your sessions , toggle ON load automatically in future sessions.
