Poly2_ how to make a hole?

[fuzzytnth3]

I'm trying to create a fill that has a hole but I'm getting a somewhat garbled result. I've had a look at the manual and the Cookbook but I can't see any advice on what sequence you should describe the polygon shape and in particular the hole.

Can some one point me in the right direction thx

botlh = -frmsz+frmsz !Bottom Left
botlh = -frmsz+frmsz !Bottom Left
botrh = a+frmsz-frmsz !Bottom Right
botvt = -strucszbot !Bottom ht
topvt = b+frmsz-frmsz !Top ht

holbotlh = openstile-openbead
holbotrh = openwidth+openstile+openbead
holbotvt = opencill-openbead
holtopvt = b-openlintol+openbead

POLY2_B 10, leaffil,filpen,filbkgdpen,
botlh, botvt, 0, !1
botrh, botvt, 0, !2

holbotlh, holbotvt, 0, !3
holbotrh, holbotvt, 0, !4
holbotrh, holtopvt, 0, !5
holbotlh, holtopvt, 0, !6
holbotlh, holbotvt, 0, !7

botrh, topvt, 0, !8
botlh, topvt, 0, !9
botlh, botvt, -1 !10

Tweaked it but not quite there. Looks like I need to add a node or something...

fuzzytnth3:

1. botlh = -frmsz+frmsz !Bottom Left
This equals zero.

2. To create a polygon with a hole, first delineate the perimeter, then return to the first point of the perimeter with a -1 status code, this tells ArchiCAD that the perimeter is finished and a hole is about to start. Then delineate the hole, again returning to the first point of the hole with a -1 status code to let ArchiCAD know that the hole is done (and another hole could be started).

Thanks for that. I made a an object of a fill with a hole in it and managed to suss what it was doing.

Re. 1) botlh I started off with a different way of calculating it which involved other parameters and somehow those two got left in

Right I'm off I shall tidy up my mess
