Hello.

I am trying to create Layout window using my PythonPart.
I am using InsertDrawingFile method (in LayoutFileService) for that.
To determine which layers would be visible in Layout window method needs parameter layerList:VecIntList.

In Allplan you can choose manually:
(1) Set all to visible
(2) Use current layer setting
(3) Save fixed layer setting in layout element

In Puthonpart i can make (1) if VecIntList is Empty.
I can make (3) if i append numbers of layers i want to show.

But how can i create Layout window by PythonPart (2) - using current layer setting?

I can add to Pallete some kind of form, where User would shoose Layers he wants to show one by one. But it doesn't seem to be really User-friendly. And in that way you will see how result would look in Layout itself.

Best Regards,
Suren

Hi Suren,

The bad news is, that these options are missing. The good news is, that we are currently working on exposing functionalities related to print layouts. Can you tell us, what other functionalities of a Layout window are not available?

Best regards,
Bart

Hi,

For the layout functionalities, can we :

1) insert some layers with for each a list of layer to be visible
2) force pen, stroke, color or fill
3) check the good orientation of the text ?

Hi Christoph,

thanks for the input! I was not aware of the subordinating of pen, stroke, color and fill.

Best,
Bart

Thank you for consultation

For other functionalities, would be usefull to rename files in Layout. Create folders, add files to folders etc..

Hi,

regarding renaming print layout files - thank you for this feedback. We already planned this functionality in short-term. It will probably be available in ALLPLAN 2026. Renaming drawing files as well.

Regarding creating folders and adding print layout files to folders - this task can already be accomplished. The print layout structure is saved in a human readable XML file located unter :

X:\Path\to\your\Prj\Name of your project.prj\BIM\Allplan_BIM_LayoutStructure.xml
Python can natively parse, modify and serialize XML files so you can already modify this structure programatically.
The same applies to Building Structure, which is saved in:
X:\Path\to\your\Prj\Name of your project.prj\BIM\Allplan_BIM_BuildingStructure.xml
So at least for this, you don't have to wait till ALLPLAN 2026.

Best regards,
Bart
