2D symbol of doors & window on the floor plan.

Hi!
I would like to adapt the graphic representation of the door & windows symbol on the floor plan.

The goal is to change the line type of the line highlighted in red to a dashed line.

Unfortunately, in Model View Options, I can only change the settings for the curved line.

I assume that it's the matter of changing the script.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Are you familiar with GDL scripting? Modifying default Archicad Door/Window library parts requires at least an intermediate level of GDL skills, as they are very complex and contain many macros.

By the way, which Archicad version are you using and what is the name of the Door library part in question? These pieces of info may be relevant.

Hi!
I'm currently using the Archicad 27 International version and the standard object - Window 27 & Door 27.
