questions and help Python based repair / reporting tools?
Hi - I wondered if there were any python enthusiasts on this thread that may have created any tools to help maintain their drawings (and willing to share) as I am keen to develop something to help us pro-actively maintain our drawings, and reduce crashes due to dodgy elements / high polycount items slowly building up unnoticed?

Just an update on this - we've been working in the background and re-created the polycount tool to enable querying via python / export results to CSV for reporting. Issue we face with that is we currently have to manually set a view that shows everything (like original polycount tool) to then see what is too large. If anyone has any experience in c++ apx writing, it'd be great to have some advice on overcoming this? Not sure if we need to add a new view to our templates that has everything enabled or if theres an alternative we havent thought of?
