Hey,
is there any chance to add external python libraries which are noch already in the iesve archive? We are working on an ifc importer and it would be very usefull to use the IfcOpenShell Library. Right now we have to convert the needed information to a *.csv file, which is not really a clean solution.
Thx for any kind of information.
External Libraries
Re: External Libraries
Hi Josef,
This feature would be super helpful. Unfortunately, currently there is no way to access external libraries. I have tried different ways like pasting installed library folders in VE folder or current script folder but it throws a lot of errors. Importing and exporting data in different forms is only workaround.

Hi,
You can add custom paths to import additional libraries in the configuration dialog. In the VEScript Python Editor, click the 'Configure...' button and in the dialog you'll find a 'Paths' section. Add your path to the list and any libraries in that folder will become accessible to VEScript.
Note that the version of the library used must be compatible with the version of Python used by the VE to work correctly. Some libraries may also not work for other reasons.
Hope this helps.
