Custom window keeps returning error

Ruben V — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:28:16 GMT

As I have described in the IFC-part of the forum, I'm having problems with the geometry in an IFC export that may be GDL-related...

(so that is why I'm posting 'double'... hope that is ok )

Archicad returns a number of errors (at 4 lines to be exact - script is 20.000+ lines long). They are all the same type of error, and look like this:
Parameter error at line ### in 3D script of object

The lines in which the error should be found ar also similar, something like:

result_369D7195_8278_D24F_836C_76B0EE41A3E0 = sweepgroup{4} ("group_73D7CEFC_4025_EE4F_BEC3_9D47A3FC2D47",       0.E+79,       0.E+79,       0.E+79,      1,      0,      0,      2,      2)

Other ones that give an error are the same "commands", but with different groups. They all had the "0.E+79" values. I changed these to plain "0", but the error is still there. I don't see any difference with other similar lines (without the weird values)...

For example, this line returns no error:

result_0FAF9329_61D0_7240_BA52_978830132FCF = sweepgroup{4} ("group_BEF450EA_E780_9741_9DFA_8BD6B984BCA3", -0.08975294845936, 1.402363763688,            0,      1,      0,      0,      2,      2)

Any help would be much appreciated!

I have never used Sweepgroup but from what I can see the first 3 values are the path it is to sweep along.
In the lines that you have errors they are all 0 (or very close to it).
So there is no vector in which to sweep the path.

I will delete the other post if there are no replies.

Tip for finding errors.
Open the script in question (i.e. 3D script) and press CTRL+L.
Enter the line number in the error message and it will find the line for you.
