Custom Door using Door 20 adjustable surfaces

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm trying to create a custom door panel which has it's leaf surfaces controlled by the Parent objects settings.

I.e. Select Door 20 use custom door leaf but assign include and outside leaf surface using model attributes See image 1.

I put in the following code into the master code:

"gs_cleaf_matin1 = gs_leaf_matin

gs_cleaf_mat1 = gs_leaf_mat

gs_cleaf_glass_mat1 = gs_glass_mat"

It does link to the Door 20 settings but all are to the Outside frame surface (gs_frame_mat).

Can anyone give some help as to where I may have missed/gone wrong?

Hi, did you ever solve this? i'm looking to do the same, I've found you can adjust the custom panel finishes with different building materials, but its not ideal!

This question has been asked before and we found it is possible but it is not what I would call a simple or automatic solution.

See here and follow the link in my post...

If you are asking that then you really don't want to be doing it.

If you select any object and press CTRL+SHIFT+O it will open the GDL editor for that object.
Or you can just press CTRL+SHIFT+O with nothing selected and you can browse for the file you want.

The buttons on the left will open the various scripts.

But if you don't know what you are doing I probably wouldn't start by trying to manipulate the materials cor custom door leafs.
