About building parametric objects with GDL.

I want the frame to be below wallline2. What should I do?

Oh, my God
This seems like too much content.

Is it only here?

As a beginner, I suggest you do not bother trying to play around with the default door and window macros. They are also not the easiest things to integrate into your own objects...

I want to create a course that even beginners can access in Archicad.
Thank you very much for your interest.
Have a happy day ^^

This can't be easily achieved by beginners.

Archicad Library draws the wall contours of the hole itself, because it is needed anyways for many reveal types: https://gdl.graphisoft.com/tips-and-tricks/reveal-options-automatic-or-scripted

We use drawindex before the wallline2s. The complexity arises with composite and profiled walls, handling skins is not easy.

If you are interested in research, look at

Basic Library/Documentation/Window-Macros/WallholeCut.html

in Library Developer Toolkit.

Is there not a simple way that the graphic display in terms of layering on screen could always make the walls appear above the door frame lines? I would imagine in almost 100% of cases the user would want the more prominent element to be the wall itself whether that be a simple wall or composite wall. The end line of the wall would generally be a thicker pen and want to be displayed infant of the thinner door frame pen and also the same for the cavity closer.

Another reason why we really need line thickness to be offset to one side of the placement axis of the line (i.e. a reference line like we have for walls).

Rather than centered as it is now.

 

That way we could have the wall lines on the inside of the wall extent and the frame lines on the inside of the frame, and they wouldn't overlap.

Just like those components don't overlap in real life.

I am trying to create a door like the image above.
How to make insulation seems to be the most important question.
Should I start with a new question?
Or can I proceed here?

 

I am trying to study this GDL.

It is an un-related problem, so best to start a new post.

But before you do, you may want to look at the reveal options and wall closure options of the door object.

This image is made with archicad primitives.
There are some parts that need to be modified very slightly, so I'm going to make it with GDL.
Hope you understand.^^
