Automatic images in objects

Anonymous — Fri, 15 Dec 2017 00:10:36 GMT

Hello to all,

what is the script to automatically see the images in the library inside an object (for example object Carpet)?

At the moment it only works if I enter the parameter gs_picture_name.
Is it possible to use this function also with other parameters?

Thanks so much

You have to paste the image into "preview picture"

You can find the Script for this in the automatically loaded "ArchiCAD_Library_Master.gsm". In the MasterScript there is:

dim	stCustomPicFiles[]
bCustomPicFileExist	= APPLICATION_QUERY ("LIBRARY_MANAGER", "USER_IMAGE_FILES", stCustomPicFiles)
if bCustomPicFileExist then
	values "gs_picture_name" stCustomPicFiles, CUSTOM
	values "gs_picture_name_2D" stCustomPicFiles, CUSTOM
endif

So at least you can use gs_picture_name_2D.
Or you can define your own using the Application Query above (I hope)
