Embedding macros in 3d script.

Electric Flute — Tue, 20 Dec 2005 12:14:32 GMT

I got several objects that call macros in my custom library. I know the benefits of macros but I would like to keep these objects self contained. (one file per object).

So, I would like to embed the geometry of the macros to the main 3d script, replacing the call command.

How can I do it with binary macros? since copy&paste the 3d script of the macro won´t work here..
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I got no reply to my question

Any GDL expert out there knows how to do it?
Thanks

mate, I'm afraid it's not possible as the code is compiled into the internal binary format and it is not editable anymore. Furthermore it does not have parametric features - in other words it's the 'absolute' definition of a 2D/3D shape and does not have any variables in its script.
