Insert a SmartPart or Macro from a PythonPart in Allplan 2026?

Hi everyone,
I’m just starting to work with PythonParts in Allplan 2026 and I’m trying to understand if it’s possible to insert a SmartPart (.smt) or a Macro (.nmk) directly from a PythonPart.
I tried a few things but I always get an error that the element type doesn’t exist, so before wasting more time I just want to ask:
is this operation actually possible in Allplan 2026, or is it no longer supported?
Thanks!

Hi,

Here the documentation for adding objects from the libray.

Please note that your PythonPart must have at least one geometric object (2d or 3d - can be in help construction) to select and apply modification on it.

Hi Christophe,

thank you very much for the information and the example.

From what I understand, SmartParts are not implemented yet in PythonParts, right?
That’s a pity, because I was considering migrating some of my SmartParts to PythonParts, and being able to import a SmartPart directly would have allowed a smoother and more gradual transition.

Thanks again for your help!

Best regards,
Giorgio
