missing D1 Transom shutter variables

Anonymous — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 15:30:15 GMT

I'm trying to add a shutter to the D1 Transom door. Problem is - there is no visible parameter for "shutter width".

If I open the part and take a peek, I see the parameter *is* there - it's one of the blue ones (intrinsic to this type of library part?). But when closed and viewed under the normal selection settings dialog - it aint' there!

What could be going on? I'm running X 10.4.1 on a G5 imac. - Thanks.

Well (sheepish) I understand now why the "width" variable disappears...

These new Lib parts are very intelligent - the variable list changes with the selection of different shutter types - all good - except if one selects shutter type seven - as I did - the "width" variable disappears!

I can't understand why type seven was intended to be a fixed-width - but the answer is to select one of the other types - then enter the proper width - then return to the type seven selection.

Onward and Upward... maybe this will help another...

Open "Shutter.gsm" (must be extructed from Object Library 9.PLA)

In Parameter script dialog find( for shutter type=7):

if gs_window_shutter = stShutterStyle[8] then ! solid shutter
hideparameter "gs_shutter_type",
"gs_shutter_width",
"gs_shutter_pos",
"gs_shu_frame_w",
"gs_shutter_w",
"gs_shutter_th",
"gs_shutter_ang",
"gs_shut_fill_typ",
"gs_hor_board_w",
"gs_ver_board_w",
"gs_hor_bn",
"gs_ver_bn",
"gs_board_w",
"gs_board_th",
"gs_shut_frame_mat"
lock "gs_shut_frame_mat"
endif

Deleting Red Marked line will allow you see required option in D-W Settings Dialog.
