A custom 12d Model application (aka macro) to get the next and last element Unique IDs (UIDs) in the current project.  Every element that is created in a 12d Model project is assigned a unique ID within that project to allow it to be referenced and selected internally, even with duplicate names or no name at all.  The UIDs tend to be assigned incrementally as elements are created.  This app is designed to be run as part of a chain either side of an operation to get the range of UIDs for the elements.  For example, it might be run once before a file is imported to get the next UID and then again after the file is imported to get the last UID.  The starting UID and ending UID, therefore, represents the UID range of elements created during the import.
