Curtain Wall Custom Panel - 2D Symbol

s_p_b — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 08:10:19 GMT

Is it possible to create a symbolic plan view for a curtain wall custom panel?

I can code GDL, but I find that the 2D script isn't affecting the symbolic panel view.

I am trying to create a very specific window, so the plan representation is kind of important.

Thank you,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian.

I "saveas" a CW panel (by GS) and add my 2d scripts there, esp. since my CW panel requires a symbolic presentation for insulation.

Now, adding parameters field for for user editing should be scripted in its UI script.

Just a technique to save time. 🙂

Hi, very late to this topic but i currently have a project where i need to change the 2d appearance of some custom panels (fill color or fill pattern for exemple), i tried multiple options saving as curtain wall panel and adding them with personnalized panel in curtain wall, also modifying the basic curtain wall panel gdl code to have another panel option but none of them take into account my 2d script furthermore they totaly ignore my interface script also...

Would you have a quick exemple of some gdl you did that works ?

Thanks a lot !

I would guess that the 2D Script is being ignored since Curtain walls do not have a Symbolic representation, only Projected, which is drawn from the 3D. Try a GLOB_VIEW_TYPE = 2 to draw your plan view in 3D when on the floorplan. Not sure how it would work in this situation, but it works in terms of PROJECT2.

Hi Ioris.

Not sure what's your 2d goal, nonetheless i copied here my edited GS panel set in LCF.

E.g, my goal is to an insulated panel symbol (something that mimics a demountable panel)-- Kindly check the 2d script.

Cheers !

Hi Toper,

Thanks a lot, my goal is only to adjust the color of the custom panel fill in 2d to have a different color from the main panels !

I'll check what you uploaded, thank you very much !
