Fence 2D representation

Anonymous
Not applicable
Could anyone help me? I apologize if it's been covered, but is there a way to make the 2D representation change by modifying the logic script? I've used "if this, then that" for Autodesk Revit and am now trying my hand (on a new job) at ArchiCAD 21 (on a Mac). I simply want the 2D to show without the lines (line2) going through the circles (circle2), yet keep the parameters it has (I fixed the extended line into the last circle/post after taking this screenshot. That's not a problem.). I'm sure there's a simple way, but it's my first time even attempting to modify a GDL object. Thanks!

(I forgot to add that it was created in an older version--not sure which--so no 2D sensitivity. Could I simply add that?)

If you are scripting this then set an empty or solid fill with white pens fill before you add the CIRCLE2 - or you could use a POLY2_
If your lines still come out in front (even if you script them before the circles) you will have to use DRAWINDEX to set the display order.

Thanks! I had tried the fill, but hadn't known about the DRAWINDEX!
