Door window French orientation

Houssam Kellache — Fri, 22 Nov 2024 10:15:42 GMT

We upgraded to 28 last week but we faced a problem with doors/windows orientation. The schedule shows its as E/C instead of G/D which is French for L/R! Even through it's working fine at the gdl script.

Operating system used: Windows

Hi Houssam,

Did you find a solution to your problems?

In the Dutch version of Archicad we have the same problem, but different letters...

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Houssam Kellache

You can create a new property available for doors/windows with a conditional expression. In my case the default values for Orientation are: "L" for left and "R" for right so if Orientation is "R" then the value should be "D" else "G". Your expression could be: IF (Orientation = "E";"G";"D")
