Combining multiple library elements into one

Hello. Tell me how you can combine several library elements into one, like fences. And will it be possible to display these elements separately from each other in the catalog?

You can call objects by name (macro call). If You want to show them separately in a catalog (listing?) then the objects can be positioned as required. For example in listing mode You show only one example of the items there exists. But this method does not explode the object into separate objects.

Try these commands

GLOB_VIEW_TYPE type of current view

• 2 - 2D (Floor Plan)
• 3 - 3D
• 4 - Section
• 5 - Elevation
• 6 - 3D Document
• 7 - Detail
• 8 - Layout
• 9 - Calculation

GLOB_PREVIEW_MODE type of current preview
• 0 - None
• 1 - Dialog
• 2 - Listing
• 3 - Favorite saving

An lcf library could also be a catalog, the object settings dialog shows the different elements.

If you want it to be one gsm, use UI_INFIELD to show previews which the user can click.
