Door 3d Projection in 2D

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 08:51:46 GMT

I had created the new Door In 3D Script With Parameteric Control.

I had used the Project option in 2D Script . And created the Door with (Wall -open - Door) as Sub Type. So, automatically the Wall opening is created. However The Door Projection is not correct in 2D. When we look in 3D, Door position is correct but its incorrect in 2D. Please refer the attached Images (1).

How to solve this problem, any suggestion.

Similarly, when we place the Door in Wall the frame is not getting adjusted with the Wall Thickness. How do we control that.Is there any global variable available to connect the wall thickness in Door (Gsm) file, as parameter. so that the Door fame position will gets adjusted automatically. Refer the Image (2).

It is better to script the 2D Door Symbol rather than use the Project option in 2D Script. You will have much better control. For doors, they are typically shown as closed in 3D (for elevations) but open in the plan view, this is not posssible using the Project2 command. I was able to get the door in the correct position using the Flip command in the Door Settings, but then the Wallhole disappeared, so scripting is the way to go.

The Wall Thickness can be read from the WALL_THICKNESS Global Variable, see page 271 of the 05 GDL Reference Guide (AC17) for this and other Global Variables available.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
