Interactive Schedule - Door/Window Orientation

Anonymous — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 15:17:26 GMT

In Interactive Schedule there is a "orientation" parameter in Schedule Settings. It shows R (right) and L (left) for my windows and doors orientations, but it also shows for my slinding doors! Its wrong!
I can´t figure out where I can change it on these cases. Any I.S. expert knows it?
I also would like to change the letters R and L to customize for my mother language.
Thanks,
Ricardo

If I understand what you are saying these corrections would be made in the GDL for the doors themselves rather than the Interactive Schedule. I've played around with the handedness of doors before and would caution that local convention may render this capability less than useful. For example in the US some would distinguish between a right hand and a right hand reverse door, which ArchiCAD cannot really do (at least current GDL objects do not)

Thanks Woody for your reply. Do you actually know where in the GDL script can I look at? I couldnt find it...

If it's D2 Sliding we are talking about it's on lines 144 $ 145 of the master script; line 20, 35, 45, 46, 68, a lot of places the 2D script; use the Find & Replace and Find Again commands in the Edit menu.

It's also in the 3D script.

The variable you are looking for would be gs_opening_dir

It can also be changed under the library parts "Detail" button, since the schedules reads off from it. So if you want a blank space for a sliding or fixed window for example, you'll have to leave the text area blank (see my attached pict. & sorry about the Swedish text - but you'll catch my drift anyway).

Just remember that when upgrading or replacing your library you'll have to do it all over again.
