Auditorium seats

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I have the following problem. In the Chairs library, the first object is the Auditorium seating which can be stepped up in height (angle or height increment). This doesn't work in AC12 -although it worked fine in 11- or am I doing something wrong?


Any help appreciated
Thanks

Peter are you sure this is right? I tried the changes for the back rest and it really messes the seats up.But will check again.Probably my mistake.

It seems to work for me! Maybe the Greek library has different named macros. Upload the Greek version and we can check if you like.

Found the problem. There should be a DEL 2 and a RETURN after the backrest code. Sorry, I missed the RETURN when I highlighted the code in my above picture.

"backrest":																!!!-------all new
Addy gs_seat_width-ArmWidth/2
Rotz -90

	CALL "fa_cushion_backrest" parameters gs_detlevel_3D_m=gs_detlevel_3D_m,
		cush_a=gs_seat_width-ArmWidth, cush_b=CushHgt, cush_h=CushThk,
		r2=RadCushEdge, r1=RadCushCorner, r3=RadBackArc,
		gs_resol=CushEdgeResol,
		FilletResol=CushFilletResol,
		cush_mat=gs_seat_mat

DEL 2

	RETURN

Edit - PLEASE NOTE THIS IS THE GREEK VERSION.(In Greek!)

The previously posted 'Audience Seating corrected Mk2' is the English language version.

I sent a link to this thread to GS tech support the other day... I'm sure they appreciate that you found the solution for them! 😉

Cheers,

GS's library update could be weeks away! It's no good if you need the particular part now.

Nothing like a bit of DIY GDL fixing to sharpen the mind!

Edit - But I still can't get to the bottom of the custom handle /plain door problem!

Or longer! That's why it is such a great service to the community when you, Dwight, Olivier, James, Duane, and many others post 'repaired' parts here (and ideally copy them into the depository) so that everyone can move forward while we wait for the update.

Thanks, Peter!

Appreciate the update Peter.
In your earlier post you name the part "Audience Seating 12" which is in the 12 library.
Now you have it named "Auditorium seats 12".
A typo, or is this deliberate?

And when opening the object tool, see attached for result.

Hi Rod, it was deliberate!

The library parts are sometimes named differently depending on the country localisation. The Greek version is called 'Auditorium seats' and the Int (and US?) version is called 'Audience Seating'. Both are identical, code wise, but the Greek version has all the user interface/parameters actually in Greek. (You don't have the Greek alphabet installed on your machine, so it looks like gibberish!)

The earlier 'Audience Seating 12 corrected Mk2'(!) is the one you want (i.e. it is in English) Rename it to what you like. I'd recommend keeping it separate for the time being, rather than integrating it with the built-in library, as any update from GS would overwrite it whether it's correct or not!

Peter,

The menus of the seating me you sent back to me were all gibberish. Odd eh? So all I did was copy-paste the new parts of the 3d script into the default greek part of my library. Works like a charm now.

Again thank you for your help.
