project2{4}

[Paalanen]

Hello everybody!

project2{4} again, sorry: Seems I cannot avoid the projected filltype overriding the cut filltype. I.e. I can't control the two fills separately, as I can the pens:

methodx=3+32+512
partsi=1+2+4+8



project2{4} 4, 0,
0, 0,
0,
methodx, partsi,
12, ! cut fill
1, 0,
0, 0, -SYMB_ROTANGLE,
cutPen, SYMB_LINETYPE, ! cutLinePen, cutLineType

0, ! projected fill overrides cut fill !!!
0, 0,
0, 0, 0,
projectPen, SYMB_LINETYPE, ! projectedLinePen, projectedLineType

Any comments appreciated!

Hi Paalanen,

This is how it works, from AC20 project2{4} and project2{3} the attributes of the cut polygons are defined by the cover fill of the outer surfaces (in case the addition modifier 32 is not set).

There is a rather complicated workaround:
– each piece of the model that has the same building material can be projected using project2{3} ... parameters to model only that part, fills overridden with the attributes from a “Building_Material_info” request.
– the visible and overhead parts have to be projected in a separate call, they show correctly only with a full model.
For an example see “CWFrameRegDouble” macro.

Thank you very much. I'll take a look at the macro.

Péter, is it so, that the (possible) parameters at the end of project2-commands cannot be arrays?

[Peter Baksa]

If you mean the PARAMETERS passed to the library part, they can, if they are array parameters in the object.

Thank you very much for your reply. Below's what I mean. The commented "basic" parameters work just fine. But a corresponding array-parameter-attempt gives the error "Missing parameter value". Any thoughts?

[Peter Baksa]

Only whole arrays can be passed:

dim _test[] ! using underscrore to keep original test parameter's values in the rest of the script
_test[1] = 1
_test[2] = 0
project2{4} ... parameters test = _test

Ah, beautiful! Köszönöm szépen!

Hello Péter,

Been working with the project2{4} command quite successfully until now. Holes using cutform punched into my projected prism are projected as cut shapes instead of projections. Tried and failed fiddling with the status and mask codes.

Attaching a screenshot of a prism projected from the front - The circles are "cutforms", the left one is an infinite cut (status 1+8+16) and the right semi-infinite (status 1+16). The correctly projected rectangular opening is defined in the prism itself.

Would be super greatful for some guidance once again.

What is your code for this?
