Just worked out how to define a fill in GDL and choose between 'Scale with plan' or 'Scale independent', as per the standard Fill Types Options - using the FILLTYPES_MASK when defining the fill.
The GDL manual documents the available fill types (when using [[,] FILLTYPES_MASK fill_types,]):
fill_types = j1 + 2*j2 + 4*j3, where each j can be 0 or 1.
j1: cut fills,
j2: cover fills,
j3: drafting fills.
If the j bit is set, the defined fill can be used corresponding to its specified type. Default is all fills (0).
but there is a j4: scale independent.
If you set the fill type to: fill_types = j1 + 2*j2 + 4*j3 + 8*j4 then you can control the
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers,
Danny

If I understand correctly, this is an undocumented feature, in which case I need to inform GS to include it in the Docs.
I am also wondering if this has changed in AC17 since there is a new Fill Category: "Cut Fill - Building Material". I don't know now if this is considered different from the "Cut Fill" category in GDL, I know it is different in the ArchiCAD UI.
In any case, I let GS know about this and they will update the Docs.
