GS door: glass fill

Bruce — Mon, 26 Sep 2022 20:43:30 GMT

How does the Graphisoft door set a different section cut fill from the leaf? I've looked at the code, and as far as I can tell, it uses the exact same fill (gs_fillLeaf), but when you cut a section, the glass fill can't be set, and doesn't clean up with the leaf.

This is the code I found in the macro DoorLeafPanels

pen gs_glass_pen
sect_fill gs_fillLeaf, gs_penLeaf_bg, gs_penLeaf_fg, gs_glass_pen_cont
material gs_glass_mat
addz c/2-gs_glass_thk/2

Hi Bruce,

The trick is in the prism_ we use to model the glass, it uses status code 5, which creates a hollow body.

What do you mean on "doesn't clean up with the leaf"? That the uncut surface of the leaf is visible behind the glass?

Thanks Peter - I missed that in the code.

See image below for what I mean by 'cleaning up.'

That might be a different door I was trying, this clearly is a cut solid. Which door is it and which panel type? Which AC version?

Sorry - that's one I'm coding. I'm trying to match the GS parameters for scheduling and coding consistency...but couldn't find where the glass fill was set.

Now I know it's done with a status code in the prism command, I know what strategy to employ in my custom leaf.
