Opening Lines

Hello,

I have an object that I need to put opening lines on...however I have no idea what the best way to do this is. (The height and width changes) What is the best way of doing this?

JGoode:

Use the LIN_ x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2 command, which draws a line in 3D. If the opening line needs to be dashed, then you will need to code a loop that draws a series of LIN_s with intervening gaps.

If you dig around in one of the door / window objects, you may be able to find the CALL macro for the opening lines.
