Error on '3D script of file...' (??)

Anonymous — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 18:48:45 GMT

when attempting to view a 3D marqueed section or a section (marker) view, I get the following dialog:

"pen number is less than 1 or greater than 255 at line 105 in the 3D script of file wa_trim_us_10.gsm"
w/ only two options to proceed: 'cancel' or 'continue'.

When 'continue' is chosen, only the numbers change in the same message.

I have located the corner and story of the bldg where this message is generated but realized there are no .gsm parts there (library parts, right?).

Any ideas on ways to find/correct this kind of error?
So far the model had been working fine.

many thanks !

Cedric

It might be a window or Door that exist within one of the elements that is shown with the marquee. try to grab one of the walls and see if the message repeats.

Also sometimes AC gets stuck in the error and you have to close the file and open it again to see if it clears. All this assuming that you have the latest patches and libraries.

Gracias Eduardo,

I've found the doors that were causing the message to pop up.

It took a bit of a 'fish net' strategy to narrow it down.
I look forward to the day Graphisoft provides more 'actionable' messages on error pop ups.

Meanwhile, thanks for your reply.
