Help with a library object, please?

Anonymous — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 00:11:06 GMT

I dl a very nice Kitchen object from Bruno Somaschini.
But I cannot get it to work!
The file is made like the following:
Folder Cucina ---> Folder Cucina B
--->Folder Macro B
I did put the entire folder with the two folders in my Library, ok?
I don't know why the massage keep appearing.
What I did wrong?

Well, thank you anyway.

It is missing another GDL file called Colonna.gsm.
These GSM files are calling each other and you need all of them for the object to work properly.
Try to obtain it from the source you got this GSM file from.

Lazlo, thank for answer.
But the two folders seems to work with the others who dl it, (Archiradar)
They mentioned something about put both folders in the active library.
I did not get it because my Italian it's not that good.
could be something like I did not put the contents in the right places?
The collona objects are in the file.

I think you have put the objects in the right place.
If they appear here in the Object Settings Dialog, then they are loaded correctly.
But the object is missing "Colonna", not "Colonna30_200_34" or similar.
I would contact the author with the problem.
I can see his email address in your first screenshot in the title of the panel below the Parameters panel.

I tried that. But the response was the same for me and other guy in the list, that we have to load in the active libraries . For the other guy seemed to worked out. Hum. He told that the message was gone.
Others in the list did not mentioned the problem.
Just for you to know that the objects are indexed in the script, like collona (y) because ther is a bunch of them.

The weird thing is that the objects alone, all work. I can put all of them one by one, just the "compozicioneCucina does not. ( Make Kitchen)

It's a shame, because it's a nice object.
Thank you

By the way, if you will be kind enough, maybe you could try install it.
and let me know if it's me or something wrong with the object.

Sorry if I'm asking too much.

Yes, there was a case the Script was not prepared for.
If you select any of the first 4 options for the base of the leftmost element, then the Top of this leftmost element is set to "Colonna", but there is no such element, which gives the error message, but the 3D is good regardless. Only it is annoying.
I slightly modified the 3D Script of the element so now it is working fine.
Find it in the attachment.

You are welcome.
Luckily, it took less than half an hour to understand the problem and sort it out.

Good job Laszlo. I made almost the same correction to the object, on this post: http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=31805
I did non noticed that there was a duplicate request here.
The only difference, as I can see, is that I also changed the word "Colonna" with "---" to denote clearly that in that situation the parameter for the "hanging cabinet" (I don't know the English word for Pensile) is not used, because the "lower cabinet" is too tall.

Edit:
Not so good, sorry. I just discovered that you modified only one of the six CALL statements.
The error can happen for the parameters from gs_pensili_1 to gs_pensili_6 although it is more common to have a "tall" element at the beginning (or at the end) rather than in the middle.

Laszlo Nagy — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 07:21:13 GMT

Yes, you are right, Roberto.
So, your fixed object should be used because in that all 6 CALL statements are fixed, not only the first one like in the one I "fixed".
