Cover fill Param-o

Massimo15892 — Fri, 28 Jun 2024 09:56:50 GMT

Hello everyone!

i have a problem with param-o. i have made a very simple object, but in 2d i see only the outlines, i would like to add cover fills to this object.
i have searched online but i can't find any solution, i guess it is possible via 2d gdl script but i don't know gdl programming.
In the code I have PROJECT2 3, 270, 2"
is it possible to add something to make the object have a cover fill?

thank you infinitely for the help

Operating system used: Windows

I have same problem with parametrical objects made with PARAM-O (with different materials). Any recommendation?

Add a Fill command before the Project2

FILL name_string or FILL index

Swap your Project2 for a Project2{2}

PROJECT2{2} projection_code, angle, method [, backgroundColor, fillOrigoX, fillOrigoY, filldirection]

You can set the Fill using a parameter so that the user can modify it.

Ling.

ps. It probably works with just Project2, just lacking control of the fill background pen. Cannot remember if there was a way to get the fill pen to use a different pen to your projection without resorting to Project2{4}...
