Hello everyone
if you can help me design a GDL object that displays (or manipulates and displays) properties of other objects placed on the floor plan (see example in image)
The object to be created will be in the form of a list which will be placed next to the objects it lists.
THANKS

An Object cannot query another Object. I think there is a way to Text IO out and amend a file, then Text IO in said information, but this is all manual and requires object refresh. From past experience, you cannot SUM a common parameter in Schedules either...

Try this addon. Create a property where the sum will be displayed, add Sum{Param1; Param_to_Sum} to its description, select any element with this property and run the Sum Selected function.

Thank you for the link, I'm a little lost on this page. I'm going to try that

You may be right even if it doesn't seem impossible to me. I have the impression that certain plugins like eptar reinforcement manage to create lists of parameters of other objects placed on the floor plan! Thank you for your response

I think you can use the API to get around some of the limitations of GDL, but that requires a whole another level of coding knowledge. If you are looking at creating a plugin, you may want to query over on the C++ or Python API subs.
