2D representation with Project2 (any version) + trim

Hi there,

Is there a GDL function that with it I can hide / trim a specific 2D area generated by "Project2" (or any of it's versions) ??

And no, a white fill with white lines will not do the trick.

Scenario:
I have create an upright panel with many different complex options, on of them that it can show skins depending on the desired LOD .... so the I used "Project2{4}" for plan representation.

My problem needs is the result of needing to create the "Project2{4}" twice at a specific LOD, one for the core representation with a specific cut fill properties, and one for the skin, but "Project2{4}" can only control the cut portions of object as if it was one surface only

There is very interesting solution to that.

PROJECT2{3} 3, 270, 3+32, 2+8, 0, 0, 0, 0, PARAMETERS yourParameter=1, yourParameter2=2

When ArchiCAD generates 2D drawing, it applies the value of given parameters, that can control in 3D script visibility of different parts.

This is going to work, only if yourParameter is set in parameters list, not in GDL script only.

Ah yes.
The good ol' project2{4} bug, that is still not fixed.
