Can I skip the value from the label to mark it?

soo — Mon, 05 Dec 2022 20:10:19 GMT

I'm making a label for Finishing materials.

there is a problem to solve that I want to skip the value named AIR but i don't know how to skip it.

For example, in this picture Even if the slab contains 4 materials, I don't want to label the material named AIR.

this is the scripts i used.

for i = 1 to numText if (fra(MATthk[n]*1000) > -eps and fra(MATthk[n]*1000) < eps) then thk = str("%.0mm", MATthk[n]) else thk = str("%.1mm", MATthk[n]) endif autotxt[i] = "T" + thk + " " + MATname[n] autoTHK[i] = MATthk[n]

I don't see how to exclude the value MATname[n] = "AIR" in the middle of this root.

Even if i force it to make it by removing the value, it was only marked as zero, but it was not completely removed.

I want only three expressions: AA, BB, and CC on my label.

Like this picture.

Please help me to solve this problem.

thank you.

I tried add some loop on script as someone adviced me before

but it still put "air" or "0" on the screen.

I want to SKIP the "air" line.

for i = 1 to numText if numTextAdd = 0 then if MATname[i] = "공기 공간" then autotxt[i] =autotxt[0] else if (fra(MATthk[n]*1000) > -eps and fra(MATthk[n]*1000) < eps) then thk = str("%.0mm", MATthk[n]) else thk = str("%.1mm", MATthk[n]) endif autotxt[i] = "T" + thk + " " + MATname[n] autoTHK[i] = MATthk[n] if mirrorText = 0 then n = n+1 else n = n-1 endif endif next i

Hi Soo,

Can you show how you have generated the texts? I am thinking that you should control this where you generate text.

if MATname[i] = "공기 공간" then
else
!!GENERATE TEXT!!
endif

You could also try utilising ID field of building material. For instance the ID of building materials you want to hide could be set to "-" and in the script you can request building material ID and set it to do nothing if ID is "-".

n = REQUEST{2} ("Building_Material_info",n = REQUEST{2} ("Building_Material_info", name_or_index, "gs_bmat_id", MY_MATERIAL_ID)

Cheers,

James

It looks like you need to convert your data to a string and then exclude it with an if statement should the string not match

this is how i put the material name and material thickness.

if MATname[1] = "AIR" then else for i = 1 to numText if numTextAdd = 0 then if (fra(MATthk[n]*1000) > -eps and fra(MATthk[n]*1000) < eps) then thk = str("%.0mm", MATthk[n]) else thk = str("%.1mm", MATthk[n]) endif autotxt[i] = "T" + thk + " " + MATname[n] autoTHK[i] = MATthk[n] if mirrorText = 0 then n = n+1 else n = n-1 endif endif if numTextAdd = 1 then if i = userTextPos1 then autotxt[i] = userText1 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i <> userTextPos1 then if (fra(MATthk[n]*1000) > -eps and fra(MATthk[n]*1000) < eps) then thk = str("%.0mm", MATthk[n]) else thk = str("%.1mm", MATthk[n]) endif autotxt[i] = "T" + thk + " " + MATname[n] autoTHK[i] = MATthk[n] if mirrorText = 0 then n = n+1 else n = n-1 endif endif endif if numTextAdd = 2 then if i = userTextPos1 then autotxt[i] = userText1 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i = userTextPos2 then autotxt[i] = userText2 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i <> userTextPos1 and i <> userTextPos2 then if (fra(MATthk[n]*1000) > -eps and fra(MATthk[n]*1000) < eps) then thk = str("%.0mm", MATthk[n]) else thk = str("%.1mm", MATthk[n]) endif autotxt[i] = "T" + thk + " " + MATname[n] autoTHK[i] = MATthk[n] if mirrorText = 0 then n = n+1 else n = n-1 endif endif endif if numTextAdd = 3 then if i = userTextPos1 then autotxt[i] = userText1 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i = userTextPos2 then autotxt[i] = userText2 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i = userTextPos3 then autotxt[i] = userText3 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i <> userTextPos1 and i <> userTextPos2 and i <> userTextPos3 then if (fra(MATthk[n]*1000) > -eps and fra(MATthk[n]*1000) < eps) then thk = str("%.0mm", MATthk[n]) else thk = str("%.1mm", MATthk[n]) endif autotxt[i] = "T" + thk + " " + MATname[n] autoTHK[i] = MATthk[n] if mirrorText = 0 then n = n+1 else n = n-1 endif endif endif if numTextAdd = 4 then if i = userTextPos1 then autotxt[i] = userText1 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i = userTextPos2 then autotxt[i] = userText2 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i = userTextPos3 then autotxt[i] = userText3 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i = userTextPos4 then autotxt[i] = userText4 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i <> userTextPos1 and i <> userTextPos2 and i <> userTextPos3 and i <> userTextPos4 then if (fra(MATthk[n]*1000) > -eps and fra(MATthk[n]*1000) < eps) then thk = str("%.0mm", MATthk[n]) else thk = str("%.1mm", MATthk[n]) endif autotxt[i] = "T" + thk + " " + MATname[n] autoTHK[i] = MATthk[n] if mirrorText = 0 then n = n+1 else n = n-1 endif endif endif if numTextAdd = 5 then if i = userTextPos1 then autotxt[i] = userText1 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i = userTextPos2 then autotxt[i] = userText2 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i = userTextPos3 then autotxt[i] = userText3 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i = userTextPos4 then autotxt[i] = userText4 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i = userTextPos5 then autotxt[i] = userText5 autoTHK[i] = 0 endif if i <> userTextPos1 and i <> userTextPos2 and i <> userTextPos3 and i <> userTextPos4 and i <> userTextPos4 then if (fra(MATthk[n]*1000) > -eps and fra(MATthk[n]*1000) < eps) then thk = str("%.0mm", MATthk[n]) else thk = str("%.1mm", MATthk[n]) endif autotxt[i] = "T" + thk + " " + MATname[n] autoTHK[i] = MATthk[n] if mirrorText = 0 then n = n+1 else n = n-1 endif endif endif next i endif

i did that you wrote it before.

and now it shows like this.

if you know how to pass the "AIR" away,

please let me know

How can i remove a row in the array ?

soo — Mon, 12 Dec 2022 08:36:42 GMT

Hello I want to remove a specific value from an array.

For example, if the Label object can show Material Thickness and Material name togeter.

I removed only the "air" layer to don't display it on screen.

I asked before twice in this board.

but the info i got last time, it just shows the value as 0, but I couldn't get rid of it.

i wanna make this label which can remove "AIR" row automatically.

I attach my file below.

plz let me know how to solve this problem

Hi,

GDL doesn't have the equivalent of break/continue in other languages.

It would be simpler to add a condition where you are displaying the data with TEXT2.

Or you need to be creative with goto:

output = 1 for input = ... if MATName[input] = "AIR" then goto "nextMAT" ! skip input ! process input autotext[output] = ... ... output = output + 1 "nextMAT": next input
