I am trying to retreive auto seismic loading information with the ETABs API.

A few problems I am running into.

The documentation points to this AutoSeismic.GetASCE716() being available and it would expose a lot of the information I am looking for:

The problem is that I do not see this GetASCE716 property exposed in C sharp?

The GetIBC2006 function is exposed, but does not work to return any meaningful results.

Another issue, the model I am working with might have ASCE7-22 or ASCE 7-16 loading. Do new functions in the API need to be exposed to reveal this information?

Really, the only item I truly care about is retrieving the differing types of loads that are created, aka, X, X +e, X -e, Y, Y -e, Y +e. If anyone else knows a way to get to this programmatically, that would be super helpful.

Solved this one, seems like databasetables are the play moving forward with API. All this info is contained in the database table, using GetTableForDisplayArray function
