    I am a newbie in LISP/Python programming. So is there a possibility to integrate LISP commands into Python script?

    Thanks

    Hello.

    Bricscad doesn't include a Python API.
    The only python functionalities are the ones provided by the BIMPYTHON command.
    More details about this can be found in the article linked below.

    Concerning using lisp, you could experiment using the BIM LISP API.
    The link below leads to a web page containing more details about this.

    https://developer.bricsys.com/bricscad/help/en_US/CurVer/DevRef/source/BricsCADBIMLISPAPI.htm

    A very basic example, related to the topic of this post, is like this:

    <pre>
    (vl-load-bim)

    (defun fn_elevations (/ bldgs bldg stories story elev)

    (setq bldgs (bim:get-all-buildings))

    (foreach bldg bldgs
    (princ (strcat "\n" bldg " :"))
    (setq stories (bim:get-all-stories bldg))
    (foreach story stories
    (setq elev (bim:get-story-elevation bldg story))
    (princ (strcat "\n" story "\t\t - " (rtos elev 2 2)))
    )
    (princ "\n\n")
    )

    (princ)
    )
    </pre>

    This will list buildings, floors, and elevations at the command prompt.

    Thank you. I need it in a more complex code, so maybe I will try to do it in NET.

    You can use Python, if you can get PyRx to load, https://github.com/CEXT-Dan/PyRx
    it’s more of a DIY, I wrapped some of BRX BIM, maybe it's enough

    import traceback
from pyrx import Ap, Db, Ge, Bim


@Ap.Command()
def doit():
    try:

        db = Db.curDb()
        for building in Bim.BimBuilding.allObjectBuildings(db):
            for story in building.allObjectStories():
                print(f"{building.name()}, {story.name()}, {story.elevation():.2f}")

    except Exception as err:
        traceback.print_exception(err)

    Main Building, Floor 0, 0.00
    Main Building, Floor 1, 3250.00
    Main Building, Floor 2, 6500.00
