can't edit zzyzx

Hi there

 

Today a really easy question, but I can't find the issue. The following script;)

 

block a,b,zzyzx

 

I said it's easy, but when I save it, I can not edit the block in 3d. Actually I can change A and B, but not zzyzx... threw the dialog it's working. I've the same problem in Archicad 27 & Archicad 28... any ideas?

 

But... when I select two or three elements at the same time, it's possible to change the heights...

 

2nd topic: You see on the right side a block created in Archicad 28... no hotspots generated, eather with the chechbox. In the middle you see a block created in Archicad 27 and migrated to Archicad 28... same settings.

 

Thank you for your help, I think the solution is really easy and I don't see the checkbox.

Maybe share your object?

 

#2 Check to see if the Bounding Hotspot toggle is active under the Compatibility Settings from the AC28 object.

No issues with block a,b,zzyzx on new objects in AC 27 and AC 28 on MAC.
The zzyzx hotspots are there and the object is vertical stretchable.
I did not change anything of the default settings in the Compatibility Settings.
Which Windows version are you using?

Below the elements, it doesn't make sense. Okay I'll check it on mac, I use Win11.

Thank you for your help, I'll check now all the windows updates.

The Block 28 has no 2D Script.
If you add for exampel PROJECT2 3, 270, 2 then you will have all hotspots.
The Block 27 works for me in both versions well.

For what it is worth, the 27 version uses a Prism command, the 28 version uses Block.

 

The Cube object from Graphisoft uses Brick. It also has an Easter Egg for a Rubik's Cube, but I couldn't understand the logic in the Master Script to get it to show up.
