Hi,
I want to use a VisualScripting app to add and edit attributes on a model, as well as import and export these attributes to and from Excel. I have been searching in internet, and most of the information on VisualScripting is related to parametric modeling and geometry. Could you provide any hints on where I can find information to learn how to use the appropriate nodes for managing attributes? Is it worth it using VS for this purpose, or would it be better to explore other options, such as the Excel plug-in for BIM+?

Thank you in advance for the info

Hi,

Here is a quick example for export attributes of object based on a type filter (export to csv) made with allplan 2023.

I will look at the new version to see if I can export directly in xls.

I did'nt test yet the imports.

Please note that you can natively export and import attributes as the other example

Thanks for the info, the direct export of the attributes to excel was excatly what i was looking for.
I want also to know if there is a way to choose which attributes can i export in excel, i need to export the IFC-ID and this data does not appears on the attributes predetermined by the software?

Thank you in advance for the info
