GDL: 2D Symbol Hotspots in 3D

[Lingwisyer]

Hi all,

How do you disable hotspots placed in the 2D Symbol window from appearing in 3D? Toggling AC_show2DHotspotsin3D doesn't seem to do anything... I am trying to reduce the amount of manual coding when making furniture objects...

I think that you need to have at least one 3D hotspot like HOTSPOT 0,0,0  with AC_show2DHotspotsin3D  disabled.

I have a full set of 3D hotspots coded, since I was wanting hotspots for all the fixing points

It works for me. Did you restore the default settings of the object when you selected AC_show2DHotspotsin3D?

Restore default settings?

I know you're more experienced than me in GDL, but just to be sure: if you've changed the AC_show2DHotspotsin3D parameter from the object, if you've already placed the object in archicad, the change in parameter value is not taken into account, unless you restore the default values.

I coded a cube with one 2D hostpot and one 3D hotspot, and they are not the same. Is this what you're looking for?

*facepalm*

Forcing the parameter in the Parameter Script did not seem to do anything....

PARAMETERS AC_Show2dHotspotsin3d = 0

Probably due to script exection order... When the UI says one thing, but the 3D says something else... Zzz...

Thanks...
