It's not clear to me what you are trying to do (and the image isn't helping - it's blurry and just seems to be a generic main window from an autop-generated part).

If you are trying to add a parameter to the list the "FILL BACKGROUND" won't work since space characters are not allowed in variable names. The standard approach is to use and underscore character to substitute, ie: "FILL_BACKGROUND"

Otherwise please be a bit more specific about what you are trying to do.

I created an object following a tutorial GSM ancient site of Graphisoft. I added the controls to pen and fill, but as my knowledge is limited, could not apply a control for the background fill in the script. Can you help me?

judsonarq:

I don't think the pen for the background fill of a Fragment (a fill drawn in the 2D Symbol window) can be parametric, only the foreground pen and fill type can be controlled. So you will need to use the POLY2_B command in the 2D Script to numerically define the fill and have control over its background pen.

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.
