Giving a polyline parameter to a GDL object

Sam Karli — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 11:24:26 GMT

There are dozens of objects that would be ruled/swept/extruded through a curve or polyline.

Is it possible to give a before drawn polyline as a parameter to a GDL?

For example, I would make a railing cross-section (in the GDL, since it's more or less the same for most of my railings), and when designing the actual object, would draw the path of the railing, would get its points (as an array, for example), and the GDL would SWEEP it.

Is there a possibility for this?

If you are talking about drawing a polyline in plan and then having a GDL object drawn to that line...then no, that is not directly possible. It may be possible with and Add-on but someone else would have to confirm this.
