MVO array dimensions won't update

Bruce — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 09:47:13 GMT

I've changed parameter arrays in a previously deployed MVO from 2-dimensions to 1-dimension arrays. I have updated all my relevant scripts and macros etc, The really odd thing is that in the GDL scripting environment, I don't get any errors - but when I open the MVO dialog, I do get errors.

I've managed to track down the problem, and it's that the MVO in the Archicad environment is still treating these parameters as 2-dimension arrays. For some reason, it 'remembers' that these parameters used to be 2-dimension arrays.

So far I've:

deleted all MVOs bar one (can't delete the last one).
created new MVOs
closed and re-opened the file
unloaded the relevant parts, opened the MVO, reloaded
unloaded the relevant parts, closed the file & reopened, reloaded

None of the above worked, but while I was typing out this post, I thought of something that did work: save as the MVO gdl part as a New Library Part. Delete the old one, use the new one. That seemed to do the trick.

Even though I solved the problem, I figured I'd post anyway, just in case someone has the same problem in the future.

Curious if you have a parameter loop in the parameter script to shrink your arrays?

Might work for future endeavors

Yes, that's there as well. Works in the scripting environment, but crashes in the Archicad environment due to incorrect array dimensions.
