Hi,

I’ve been trying to make some quantities take offs and I’m struggling in finding the Archicad (27) Wall type Element ID in the PowerQuery and Spekcle GraphQL API, does anybody here knows which branch or hierarchy can I find this ID?

Hi @Ignacio_Diaz ,

Currently it appears that Archicad is sending the ElementId that you see in the name field of the ArchicadObject class:

We may also add this as a property under the properties field in the future.

I can search for the element you highlighted with GraphQL without error

Query:

query ExampleQuery(
  $objectId: String!
  $projectId: String!
  $select: [String]
  $query: [JSONObject!]
) {
  project(id: $projectId) {
    object(id: $objectId) {
      children(select: $select, query: $query) {
        objects {
          data
        }
      }
      id
    }
  }
}

Variables:

{
  "objectId": "e88fe1abbad11d125a64e97324049cda",
  "projectId": "f6c90962ed",
  "select": [
    "name","properties"
  ],
  "query": [{
    "field":"name",
    "operator": "=",
    "value": "MHA-2P-004"
  }]
}

Object found:

                      "thickness": 0.005
                    },

I recommend also that you use our newer GraphQL Apollo Server

As @clrkng already said, the id is under the name parameter, because the id in Archicad is not unique, and you can also change it.

Thanks, that sure will be great!

Thanks @jonathon , this really helps, I’m new at this so probably I’m doing something wrong. I’ll study your Query and try again.

Thanks @David_Kekesi , is a good point, so it’s not a “real” ID.

No, it’s not. If you ever need a real unique id you can use the applicationId. That’s the element guid from Archicad.
