AC13 Door swing pens and storefront materials

[Anonymous]

The pen setting for the door swing in the AC13 D1 door and the ability to change the frame material on the storefront seem to have gone the way of the dodo. Will they ever return? I've tried all the usual workarounds, already. Does anyone have a work-around other than editing the gdl code myself?

Regarding door swing - You have it in Model View Options as a global setting.

Many thanks. I would never have thought to look there. Why on EARTH would they hide it there??? Once again, the Hungarian random event generator strikes...

It is on the new features guide....
Anyway a friend asked me about the same yestarday 😉

It is a new concept called Library-specific Model View Options.
Check the New Features Guide for description.

But you guys should.
I think those New Features Guide are made with the intention to help.
And they contain a lot of useful info, including migrating Projects from earlier versions, possible issues etc.

With this change in AC 13, what is the global command needed in the GDL script to have the door and window swing lines be controllable?

Look into the v13 GDL Manual and look for the LIBRARYGLOBAL command. There are a few extra words about it in the Basic Library Documentation (v13 again) in the 'New GDL Features in ArchiCAD 13' document.
