tapir-archicad-automation (ENZYME-APD)MCADConfidence: Medium

A formwork shop creates hundreds of wall-elevation sections per project through the Archicad API but cannot dimension them. Element queries in a section return the parent wall and slab IDs, not the section element IDs the dimension call needs; the real IDs only show up after a person places a dimension by hand.
