Giuseppe:

The code looks like an object saved from the floor plan and the only parameters in the script are for the resolution (n) and material (m), all else is hard coded. Since this object is not parametric, what aspects of it do you want to control? If it is just the overall size, then look at adding the MUL command at the top of the script and after the "del top" line (see the GDL Reference Guide), otherwise you need to substitute the hard dimensions for parameters in the script.

Thank you David, a friend of mine from Italy, "Zio Bob" (real name is Roberto Corona) told me the lines that I needed to remove and add in the script. It works like a charm.

Thanks
