Forge Elemenet properties


I am working on a project that retrieves our metadata from forge using this API after translating the Revit files on BIM360, but I am running into some questions:

1- I am storing the elements (parameters/properties ) into external DB by using (IExternalID as unique ID)... my question is does the IExternal ID change if I update a parameter on Revit || modify the element. for example, if update the element on Revit what I will able to see: same IExternalID or different IExternalID since I updated the element 2- when is the External ID will be changed? 3- any news regarding SVF2 :D ? in order to track what exactly happened in the element?


Solution

  • Hi Cyrille and Jeremy :) I was a great answer, in the end, I am trying to solve it by creating a new table in DB that has only the properties of the element, So every element (IExternal ID) will have different properties by the time this is my best thought in order to keep tracking on the element by the time. Please correct me if you think I am missing something or I am wrong

    thank you again :)
