BASIC STORY MARKER

[Frank Beister]

Can anyone tell me, where I can find the BASIC STORY MARKER-object? After a "longer" search for the new place of the common markers I can find there only the ones for details and the FT splittet in two: F and T-markers.

I tried using "Open by Subtype" and was able to locate it in the US library.

Where do you open "by subtype"? I still have to search all folders, if I go to "open library part" and choose story marker.

Can you tell me the path in US library, Tom? This might give me a hint. Thanks.
(I know, had tried to open it in beta period. And this caused AFAIR a crash. But I haven't saved my reports)

File > GDL Objects > Open Objects by SubType...

Interestingly it was shown as being in:
Local_Disk:Applications:Graphisoft:ArchiCAD 10:Support:ArchiCADResources.framework:rfs:Basic Story Marker.gsm

So different shouldn't be US to GER/INT, isn't it? I searched in the support folder, because the folders there are linked in the library manager, but I haven't found a GSM like you do. Hmmm. Hidden? I have to go via SEARCH. Strange.

This is my Open by SubType Menu

This is very worrisome.
It appears that Graphisoft's localization subcontractors
are allowed to strip out functionality at their whim.
Frank's GER/INT version is missing the "Open Objects by Subtype" option.

Frank, I notice that your file menu is in English. How can that be
since it is the German/International version ?

It may not be. Maybe it's controlled in the Work Environment?

Sorry for the mixed languages. I run both parallel. GER is full translated. And second I run the INT version to get familar with the english "translations" of the menu titles. I tried to open the marker in both (GER and INT). In both menus I don't get an "open by subtype". Maybe I am missing a switch in the preferences as the expanded calculation menu switch in AC9.
But anyway. The GSM should be in the support/resources folder. And I can't see it there. As the object works in the sections it has to be there. Maybe my MacOS X settings are "wrong" and don't show hidden files.

Open Object by Subtype...

Found it. It's the sixth command from the left in the Edit GDL Library Parts Toolbar.
