COPYING WINDOW AND DOOR MARKER INFO

[peter spellman]

Hello,
I am trying to find a simple way to copy the marker settings from one type of window to another (also for doors to). Eyedropper/Syringe changes the window type, which I do not want to do.

Is there an easy way w/o editing each different window/door type?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

but when I creat a new door and want to inser the created marker it doesn't show either...
even with the reloaded library

You didn't indicate whether you checked the PLACEABLE button when saving the object?

[Anonymous]

Yes... I checked when I saved...
After that, when you are going to change the marker under the door parameters, it is there?? In mine isn't...

[vfrontiers]

Sorry... but is it in a folder that loads with your library?

The new marker that I created, I saved in one library folder that I have with archicad objects...

I seem to be getting the same problem - I have created my window marker and can find it in Microsoft Explorer, but when I try and load a window-door marker it doesn't appear. I have clicked placeable, but still no joy as you can see from below. I have also reloaded the library too.

Chris:

Is the marker of the Window-Door Marker subtype (see Duane's Placeable.jpg from Fri Dec 05, 2008 5:08 pm)?

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

I have just managed to get it to work - under the GDL parameters page you have to click on select subtypes and select the window/door marker subtype - it will then become visible..

I meant to attach this to the previous post.

Yes, that is a necessary thing, otherwise ArchiCAD will not know that it has to display it when you are viewing or searching for Door-Window Markers.
See, ArchiCAD is coded to display in the Marker panel of the Door/Window Settings Dialog only those Library Parts that have that specific Subtype.
That's how it works.
