REQUEST: Possibility to edit timber design fire configuration

[Lulatsch39]

Hi there, I'm looking for the possiblity to create and edit a fire configuration for timber design. With using Model.clientModel.service.set_timber_design_fr_configuration(...) I can create a configuration. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to access the important parameters marked in the screenshot below. I tried Model.clientModel.service.get_timber_design_fr_configuration(...) to get an idea of the structure of the parameters but that doesn't provide any information on the marked values either.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Lulatsch39,

Currently, there is no direct access to fire configuration possible with Webservice. Although, you can access those parameters with the help of javascript and then there is a function in the webservice called run_script() to run that javascript. Below you can find the demo example for how to access those parameters. You may copy the function FireDesignSettings() and place it in your script to edit timber design fire configuration. Let us know if it works for you or not.

import os
baseName = os.path.basename(__file__)
dirName = os.path.dirname(__file__)
print('basename:    ', baseName)
print('dirname:     ', dirName)

Additionally, HLF for timber design fire configuration is not available at the moment. We will try to implement it as soon as possible.
