but I still a lot of people struggling to access nested elements, whether they are using VBA, GC or C#.

Please share evidence or examples of this statement.

That would be simple enough. Just do a search for 'nested' on this forum. I think that it is quite clear that a lot of programmers struggle with dealing with nested elements. I think that there should be a example for each of the tasks below delivered with the SDK. Bentley must do a much better job at this. I suspect it should take more than a man-week for the likes of Team Bentley.

Cells / Complex Elements:

1. Scanning for nested elements
2. Insert a nested Cell into Cell
3. Dynamic display of modified elements.
4. Create nested Cell
5. Get nested info cell origin, cell name, text
6. Drop Cells without affecting the nested Cells.
7. Scan nested Cells from i.dgn
8. Modifying levels in nested Cell
9. Reading/Editing a cell library model to remove instances of nested cell
10. Create Cell from element in nested Cell
11. Export nested Cells.
12. Scanning for nested elements (points)
13. Append Cell to Cell
14. Edit Text in Cell
15. Get nested fileposition and elementID
16. Understanding order of nested element / headers
17. Create a Cell that nests two other Cells.
18. Edit Text in Cell. Recursion link at EnvisionCAD
19. GetReachableElements is the new GetsubElements?
20. Scanning for nested elements.
21. Delete subelements in complex element
22. Modify subelement in complex element
23. Fetching subelements in complex element
24. Scanning for nested elements using ElementRef callback function

25. Complex element recursion.

Reference Files:

1. Levels for display
2. Attachment Name
3. Property from nested attachment
4. Attach with Live Nesting on
5. Turn off levels in nested attachment
6. ElementID’s from nested attachments
7. Transforms
8. Set attachment depth
9. Loop through nested attachment, merge/detach on criteria
10. Read nested attachment info- display, transform
11. Turn on/off levels based on filters
12. Read clipping info in nested attachment
13. Renaming attachments
