Curtain Wall - Frame Class recognising

Anonymous — Tue, 05 Dec 2017 11:33:08 GMT

Hi!
I try to write my own CW frame, I have 3 different profile sections (boundary, mullion, transom), and it is important for me to combine all of them in just one object, so that the object would recognise automatically whether is used as boundary/mullion/transom, and choose the correct profile according to it.
Anyone knows how to recognise frame class?

Not sure if that is possible.

Why not make 1 object and have the selection be done through a dropdown in the UI?

Thank you for your answer.
Of course I can place everything in UI, that's my "B plan", but I just wanted library to be more comfortable and intuitive for users.
Especially that it's possible to reach profile class from labels (CWFRAME_CLASS), it's so annoying that there are so many built-in parameters available for labels only, and I cannot reach them from profile script.
Or maybe someone knows some kind of secret formula to use CWFRAME_CLASS in profile script?
