Scale in GDL 2d full view window

David Collins — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:49:17 GMT

I've been playing with GLOB_SCALE in GDL to control the amount of detail in the plan symbols of some custom windows I've created.

I've noticed that the 2d full view does not display at the same scale as the currently opened *.pln file and seems to default (I suspect) to 1:100.
Right now, I have to quit the GDL part editor and test the part in ArchiCAD proper to check the scale sensitive script.

This seems odd to me. Is there a way to change the scale of the 2d full view display in the GDL editor?

Hi David,
The same way you do for changing scale of floor plan. This command is avaible too in the GDL editor (Options > Scale of plan)
Or did i misunderstand the problem?

Yikes! Who put that there? All these years on ArchiCAD, I've always changed scale from the box down on the bottom of the plan window. I had no idea it was up there in the options menu, too.
Many thanks, Olivier!

If you make your 2D full view window a bit larger it is on there too!
