In MicroStation or in any other PowerPlatform tools(OpenBuildings, OpenRoads, OpenBridge) almost all functionalities has a Key-in. Key-ins allows us to use lots of functionalities with simple commands.  In GenerativeComponents, there is an in-built function KeyIn() that allows us to execute any Key-ins.  Key-ins could be especially helpful to use any functionalities that are not available in GC.  Sometimes this approach requires less effort than taking the programmatic approach.

transaction 8 script 'Run Key-in script'
{
    KeyIn('macro play Fill Region_OP_K'); // Runs a macro for initial dialog settings
    for (int i = 0; i < RandomPoints.Count; ++i)
    {
        KeyIn('CO='+ Random(255));  // set active colors to a random color
        KeyIn('create region flood;T, point absolute ' + RandomPoints[i].X + ',' + RandomPoints[i].Y + ',' + RandomPoints[i].Z + '|2'); // create region based on GC points
    }
}

Let us know if you find out new Keyins that can be implemented in GenerativeComponent.

Thanks,
