Custom Window

[Joze Marinko]

I created a Custom Window. Part of this window is also a slab, which I would like to hide when generating the drawing scheme. This part is modeled as a slab, to which I assigned an ID. I can find this ID inside the 3D Script, but I do not know which slab it refers to. Is there a way to determine this? There is Attachment. The IDs of the desired slabs are "parapet" and "obok".

I know how to hide tihs parts in Window List. I just want to find IDs in 3D Script.

Operating system used: Windows

It should be the group directly before the ID in the script.

No, it is not working. Here is another example. Nr. 1. is "obok", Nr. 2 is "parapet".

Seems it may not be the prism above the ID when there are a lot of prisms.

Process of elimination (commenting out each prism), I found one.

I have to go now so no time to find the other just at the moment.

Maybe I will get to try again later.

The parapet is this prism.

I found them by commenting out the 'Placegroup' commands at the end of the script.

When the part you want disappears, you will know the group number for it.

Search for that group number in the script and you will find it placed as another group.

Then search for that new group number and that will be the prism that creates it.

I know the method of "searching and commenting", but it's quite time-consuming. I was hoping there might be a smarter way. If there isn't, I'll just do it that way. Thanks for your help.

It does create a line in the code with the element ID if you have used it.

Below that line will be a GROUP.

That will lead you to another group.

That may lead you to yet another group and even that to another group.

Only by following the trail, will you get to the command that models the shape.

It is very long winded now with all of these groups.

Used to be much simpler many versions ago.

I am sure it never used to do all of this grouping.

This was a little more complicated with the "result_...." groups.

That was because I used composites in the test slabs so it was grouping the skins together,
