I was trying to modify a default label so I could rotate the text if the label is at 90 degrees. The default property label rotates the text and label together so the text is also 90 degrees. I made a copy of the library part and add a variable line for the text. After I saved it and tried to use it, I don't see where I can change the text angle. I have attached the library part if you would like to review it. I'm a beginner when it comes modifying library parts and would appreciate any input. Thanks!</P> Tue, 03 Mar 2026 16:18:54 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Help-with-modifying-an-Archicad-27-object/m-p/694759#M52201 CFS_Mike 2026-03-03T16:18:54Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Help-with-modifying-an-Archicad-27-object/m-p/694788#M52203 <P>That script has a "Bouncer"!
