Wall accessories documentation or manual?

Hello,

 

Where can I find any documentation regarding programming gdl objects based on the Accessories add-on for Archicad?

There are none. You just can open one of the existing GDLs for the additional library for the admins and look for yourself through the code. Is basically taking some of the element-parameters and makes holes and edge-forms  with Group-Objects and SEO-substracts it from any additional form to get the result.

Thank you for your reply. 

That is what I am starting to do now but I had to ask. 

Even some basic instructions would take me less lot of time than having to go through discovering the idea behind these objects.

 

 

 

I have some very robust accessories I've built, pm me and maybe we can chat and I can give some guidance.

Hello SenecaDesignLLC

By reading the default object code, as suggested by Hmooslechner, I believe I have grasped the concept for now.

It seems simple enough. I will do some testing.

I don't want to bother you without doing my homework first.

If I come across something that I don't understand, I'l contact you.

Thank you so much.

Feel free to ask me questions I have built wall roof and slab accessories that I use on the daily for framing siding soffit fascia floor systems and they all output quantities.

I've learned a lot of the basic tricks of you want a head start on your homework.

Good luck!
