Key points/notes on how I did it:

The jargon is sometimes confusing for me. So here is a cheat sheet to refer to if you forget:

A very handy method. Often detailers will ask for something to be placed on a particular layer. But since they are using a 100 different drawing templates without any consistency nor standards, the onus is on you to impose that standard on them. So you’d have to check for a layer and add it if it doesn’t already exist. Anyways, that’s enough griping: here is the code:

We want a selection filter which simply ignores certain types of colors.

This can be difficult and extremely frustrating if you get it wrong, because AcCoreConsole is not the most user friendly interface out there – but, it is extremely fast. If AutoDesk combines AcCoreConsole with some kind of super fast in memory cache like Redis then operations will be an order of magnitude faster; and even better than that would be if the.NET API is changed to incorporate the smart GraphQL query specifications that I am pretty sure will leave behand Restful APIs in its wake. I digress.

What is the problem? My JavaScript doesn’t work. Turbolinks is good, but it can be a wee bit annoying at times – well it’s annoying because things don’t work straight off the bat – the magic doesn’t work so good anymore, and us developers have to roll up our sleeves and take a look under the car to find out what is going wrong and how we can fix it.
