What are PythonParts?

PythonParts are parametric Allplan CAD objects created using the Python programming interface (API). Many ready-made PP objects can be found in the already installed program library.

PythonParts are often used as parametric reinforcement schemes for objects. In the 2022 version, they gained the functionality of updating multiple instances of the same objects in the event of modification of one of them.

PythonParts objects can be created using the Python programming language as well as using the built-in Visual Scripting tool.

Below you will find free PythonParts for use in Allplan.

How to run the PythonPart script?

Please follow the steps below:

1. Download the .rar file that contains "Library" and "PythonPartsScripts" catalogs
2. Unzip the .rar file
3. Copy the appropriate folder from: Library\PiCAD\ and put it in the:

C:\Data\Allplan\Allplan 2024\Std\Library\PiCAD
(or corresponding to the path specified during installation)

4. Copy the appropriate folder from the PythonPartsScripts directory and place it in:

C:\Data\Allplan\Allplan 2024\Std\PythonPartsScripts
(or corresponding to the path specified during installation)

or if the PythonPartsScripts or PiCAD folders do not yet exist in the indicated locations, please create folders with these names.

ATTENTION! The objects are adapted to the latest version of the program - no guarantee of operation on earlier versions
