Opening Lines in 3D

Anonymous

I'm trying to get the opening lines in 3D to show properly. What I'm seeing is the rotated "V" indicating swing on casements and doors is opposite of how we display it here. The point of the "V" should be on the hinge side. Is there a way to change this?

There should be a setting in the library part. Look in the parameters in the settings dialog. If there is no parameter for this then the part was probably not written for the US.

Somehow I new that was the answer! I believe we discovered this when we tried to use it before.
Wait..that's odd. I purchased the US version. So when do I get the US objects?

I think you are looking for the below parameter as shown in the image.

Second image to the previous post.
Important: this parameter appears only when the Opening line in 3D parameter is ON.

Those parameters are not showing in the 2 objects I am using currently.
They are both from the v9 library, D1 Entrance side2 & W2 Casement. The opening line in 3D is on. Still no parameters.
What now?

Then the case is probably that you dont have such objects on the US library. I am using the INT version so these are obviously different.

OK, too bad for us. Is this a simple GDL script change? I'm no expert but I'm sure I could get through it.
Is this an update we could get done to the US Library so the next release it won't get dropped or are we the only ones asking for this?
Thanks,
Chris
I think this was also the second post pointing this out. I forwarded something to Graphisoft US a couple of weeks ago.
