Door/Window Orientation (Dutch)

[Julian Fiole]

Dear Archicad comrads, 

Since we have moved on from the monolithic to the global library in AC28, we have a problem with the Door/Window orientation in our schedules. 

Our window orientation in AC27 showed ''L'' and ''R'' but since global library in AC28 it shows ''O'' and ''B'' in the schedules and labels. 

We have checked the Compatibility Options of our Door/Windows, but this setting is correct as is (see added image).

We have done some research on this topic and think it is because we are operating in the Dutch version of Archicad, but could'nt find a solution to this. 

Has anyone also experienced this problem and/or knows how to set it back to the usual ''L'' and ''R''?

Thanks in advance!

Operating system used: Windows

Can you – best in another file, also it takes a while – try and load in a different language to see what happens?

My best guess is that there is a mishap in the .json translation file.

Hi @Julian Fiole 

You could try creating a new property (Ex. Opening orientation) available for doors/windows as a conditional expression = IF (Orientation="O";"L";"R")

Hi Ricardo, 

I just saw your reaction on the french topic and made my own version of it and it worked. 

Thank you verry much 😉
