GS Window Opening Functions missing error

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:32:53 GMT

Hi everyone,
in AC17 i've modified a windows to meet my needs adding lines to 2d and 3d scripts. In AC17 it works fine.
Now, in AC18, the same object fails giving the message:
"can't find GS Window Opening Functions called at line..."
but GS Window Opening Functions is part of AC18 library so...i'm lost

Can someone put me in the right direction?

Thanks

I´m affraid you have to do the same changes to AC18 Library!

Thanks Andro but
i haven't mess with GS Window Opening Functions code.
i only add lines to 2d 3d script of a window object.
i have twenty of these and all give me the same message.
If i must i will script them again but i sense i'm missing something simpler.

This error message normally comes when the given GDL Macro cannot be found in either the embedded library, linked libraries, BIM Server library or within ArchiCAD.dll (that file also contains several built-in GDL objects).
So I would double-check that the called macro (with that exact name) is indeed loaded. Also I would check the name in the CALL statement that it is the same as the name of the macro found in linked libraries.
One other thing: did you use the same localized version in both AC17 and AC18 (ITA or INT)?

Hello Laszlo,
i've scripted with AC17 ITA and tested with AC18 INT and AC18 ITA with the same result.
What make's me crazy is that if, in AC18 INT or ITA, i select the name of the called macro in my GDL code and do "file->libraries->open object" the macro opens without problems.
It's here, in front of me, fooling me with sadistic eyes
If AC can't found it executing my window then why it's here when i open it from the code????

Hi!

I have exactly the same problem:
AC16 objects that use the macro "Simple door opening" and that is no longer found in AC18 but it is ! It's in ArchiCAD.DLL and I can manually open it ...

How to use this macro in AC18?

This might have something to do with the fact you bring GDL objects created in previous versions into ArchiCAD 18. I wonder if this could be a migration problem?
Anyway, all I can do at this point is to report it to Graphisoft.

You're right, when I create a new object in AC18, I can make a CALL to the "Simple door opening" macro without problem although I use the same syntax as my "old" object.

What should I do to migrate my object to AC18 ? I had no problem before to upgrade from 9 to 12 and from 12 to 16 ...

I hope my english isn't too bad and fully understandable ...

I don't really know, because if this is a bug in the program, then there is really not much one can do except you recreating the changes made to the object in AC18 and Graphisoft fixing the problem.
This is why I reported the problem so they can investigated whether it is a bug or not.
It would be a good idea for you guys to report this to your local reseller complete with files which can then be forwarded to Graphisoft.

Done. Thanks for your support.

I hope Graphisoft will found a solution, I don't want to remake my objects in AC18 with so many parameters ...

Hi!

I followed your advice and made a report to my local reseller who made a report to Graphisoft.

I get a response from Graphisoft :
The ID of the macro "Simple door opening" changed in AC18 :
"ADDD8615-ABD0-4E9D-8EE4-EBD7DAC87CF4" --> "F6FAB810-3A56-4C74-8EB8-B58738A9EE9B"

To fix the object, open it in AC18 and save it unchanged. That's it !

It works but the object is no longer compatible with AC16 ...
