Wrong plate numbers and results while using OpenStaad functions

Hi,

I am using STAAD connect edition update 3.

I'm using macro to get selected plate numbers, but the function seems to give wrong results quite often. Some times it gives correct result.

Attaching screen shot of selected plates and the plates displayed while using the function.

kindly advise if any problem with syntax or alternate way to correct it.

  • I have investigated this and noticed that this is a bug. The problem is limited to following condition –

    1. If you select the sorting option as 0 (plate number in order of selection), then only this problem occurs. If you select sorting option 1, then you can find that correct plate numbers are extracted.
    2. The problem occurs when you use this function to extract some plate number, then delete or renumber some plates and once again use this function to extract the plate number. Due to some internal problem, the plate array stores the previously selected plate numbers and those numbers are extracted in the next instance. So you can find some plate number which is not selected in this instance.

    At this moment there is no alternative except using sorting option as 1. I have already informed this issue to the development team and they will fix the issue in the upcoming build.
