Our use case? - Detailers copy / paste profiles from structural drawings into a CSV file. - This CSV file is then used to create a model. - It is essential that the profiles are recognisable by Tekla. How can we check? - Through a data validation directly in Excel. Or - By validating the data directly in your code. using Tekla.Structures.Catalogs; // download this dll from Nuget public bool CSVProfilesAreCorrect(List dataRows) { if (_areCSVProfilesCorrect()) { return true; } else { throw new SystemException($"The CSV files have these profiles which don't exist in Tekla: {String.Join(", ", string.Join(", ", csvProfiles.Except(teklaProfiles)))}"); } bool _areCSVProfilesCorrect() { HashSet csvProfiles = dataRows.Select(row => row.Profile).ToHashSet(); HashSet tekla...
