TapirClearer error messages in Python
Tracebacks and command errors that say what went wrong and how to fix it, so a script is easier to troubleshoot.
Ask for itHow to ask for a feature.
Four steps from "I need this" to a Monday release.
-
Say what you want to do
Post it on Discord or open an issue on GitHub. Describe the task in Archicad, not only the command: "number the doors along a line", "read the area of every zone". A Discord message that reads like a feature request becomes a GitHub issue by itself, labelled
enhancement. -
Asking for a part of the Archicad API?
The API coverage page lists every function of the Archicad API and whether Tapir has a command for it. Use the Archicad API request issue form to ask for one that is missing.
-
The issue bot picks it up
A clear, wanted request is built like a fix: the bot writes it and opens a pull request, and you are asked to try it. A large one is split into parts. When the design is open, the bot describes the choices and a maintainer decides.
-
It ships on a Monday
Merged changes are released every Monday. The release notes list them, and the add-on offers to update itself.
