Community Standup🌟

Rob · 8 March 2022 12:35

Lately I have been working on generating all Speckle C# classes in Python. This now works for all BuiltElements, including those in the Revit namespace and all Structural classes, except for the Results so far. I made a script that loads the built C# dlls and generates the *.py files from that. As I don’t see a contribution from the community yet, I could show this in 5-10 minutes. Will of course be a dive into the Python code, so will mostly appeal to the (Python) programmers here. Let me know if this would be a good addition for tomorrow.

As an example, see here the generated beam.py module with the Speckle Beam classes:

We can discuss if this could be added to the specklepy package and what the prerequisites would be for that. Although I did just notice that at least the Structural classes have been added to the package already by @izzylys.

hey @Rob, I’d love to see this shown off at the standup! totally cool and I’m super down for chats on how this could be integrated into specklepy. feel free to DM me your availability! maybe we can chat later this week after you’ve demo’d it for us at standup

Great!
Will show it tomorrow then, and having a talk later this week should be fine

@Community standup starting in 30 minutes!

The customary slides:

Thanks to all 37+ of you for coming, and the feedback! As a reminder, we’re always keen to hear it

As a tl;dr of some of the main issues/enhancements/discussion points that came across (and that I managed to jot down):

Find a way to do mapping between elements, at least on some specific workflows

On this one, we’d be keen to see any mapping tables examples you might have, and do share with us specific workflow examples. We’ll try to generalise in a speckle-wide implementation!

Better/friendlier object explorer (in the online 3D viewer)

This is something that’s been bugging us since a while, so we’ll make it happen

FME Usecases

@jonathon has an alpha FME connector ready to go - and would be happy to talk shop with some actual FME users - so poke him, or join the discussion in the FME thread!

ArcGIS Support

@Kateryna posted a survey - before we get started on development, it would really help if you fill it up

We want to hear usecases and worflows that you’d want this connector to start enabling! (cc’ing some of you who voted on this - @mmagnani, @chris.welch, @johanb, @lyur, @Frederic_Herbere, @Rebeca_Hayanny, @colin.magner).

That’s all for now, stay tuned for the next one!

Hello @Community !

You do not want to miss out on the next Community Standup!

This time around, we have a 3D collaboration demo from @jonathon and @haitheredavid regarding a very special stream. AND @jonathon will tell us what he has in plan for all the Pikachus he put behind bars from the Pokémon GO! Challenge. Are they finally going to get bail? Come find out next Tuesday, August 16th at 3pm UK time!

With all the head bobbing and the beatboxing, it was an eventful hour to say the least.

Thank you to all the 30 attendees for making it so great, and a special shoutout to @haitheredavid and @jonathon for introducing us to Speckle tennis.

The showstopping Speckle Tennis Stream started by @haitheredavid and @jonathon. More to come on that topic shortly

That is it for now See you all next time

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend but thanks for the pokemon game, it was a good meditative exercise haha. I had a look through the slides, interesting stuff coming up! I hope to be able to join again next time.

JdB · 17 August 2022 22:17

Regarding the ArcGIS Connector (slide Community Standup #13- August 2022 - Google Slides), we have a big project coming up that is interested to connect Speckle with ESRI. They would like to know if they could use the ArcGIS connector in their project so could someone shed light on what the plans are? The time frame? Which element types will be initially supported?
Thanks!

(this shows to join the standups so you don’t miss out on the latest info )
