Update cell size by code, does not visually adjust 3D to new measurements.

I have the following model that adjusts the cell size of the floor storage but visually it does not do it at the time of applying the code. Only if I manually select Floor Storage> Proporties> Storage Object> Edit Dimensions by clicking on an option of this property the measurements are visually updated to the object.

I have a model where I have more than a thousand floor storage and doing this manually one by one at a time will take a lot of time.

How can I cover this part by means of the code?

Typically you try to get the mechanism of the property panel by inspection of the tree and view tree structure. If there is not involved a mechanism on reset, you must probably update view and repaint all. Topic is “ explore structure”.

Call function_s(rack, "refreshBayLevelSlotLocations");

int CantidadObjetosEnGrupo = content(Model.find("Tools/Groups/Floor Storage"));

for (int r = 1; r <= CantidadObjetosEnGrupo; r++) {
    Object IdentificaFloorStorage = groupmember("Floor Storage",r);

    Storage.Object current = IdentificaFloorStorage;

    for (int i = 1; i <= current.bays.length; i++) {
        Storage.Bay bay = current.bays[i];
        getvarnode(current, "bays").subnodes[i].subnodes[2].value = 4;
        rackgetbaycontent(current,i);
        for (int j = 1; j <= bay.levels.length; j++) {
            Storage.Level level = bay.levels[j];
            getvarnode(current, "bays").subnodes[i].subnodes[4].subnodes[j].subnodes[2].value = 3.13;
        }
    }
    function_s(current, "refreshBayLevelSlotLocations");
}

A better solution would be to use the setProperty() method to set the dimensions rather than adjusting the tree values directly:

int CantidadObjetosEnGrupo = content(Model.find("Tools/Groups/Floor Storage"));

for (int r = 1; r <= CantidadObjetosEnGrupo; r++) {
    Object IdentificaFloorStorage = groupmember("Floor Storage",r);

    Map dimensions = IdentificaFloorStorage.getProperty("Dimensions");
    dimensions["BaySize"] = 2.24;
    dimensions["LevelSize"] = 3.43;
    IdentificaFloorStorage.setProperty("Dimensions", dimensions);
}
