a little more.
Ralph Wessel has created a hugely flexible window/door/panel/storefront/curtain wall GDL object, called Modular Joinery. It was commissioned by Graphisoft U K and is distributed to their Archicad subscribers, and for similar purpose to other distributors.
I've been using it for a week or so now, and I find it extraordinarily good, and something I've been wishing to have for a long time. Not only is the object itself working very well, it also has a new, simple yet very creative and useful UI (user interface), and also comes with a 22-page user manual!
If you have an Archicad subscription, immediately ask your distributor to supply you with this GDL object, and if he/she doesn't have it, to get it from Graphisoft U.K.!
I'd also like to send my sincere thanks to Graphisoft U K who've had the wit to engage one of the most distinguished GDL programmers for this task, and to share it with the user community this way. And of course, to Ralph!

Edited:
Below is an excerpt from the manual that shows some of the pre-set frame options available. Despite trying for years, I have never been able to replicate this with the standard windows.

Nice one, thanks Thomas. I'll have a talk to GS UK. It's not me I need to convince!
It was a great idea of them to do so, since it fixes a long-standing shortcoming in the standard libraries.
What I don't think GS have realised is that this is so well done, and has such potential that it could become an additional selling point in itself for Archicad. I think it should be included in the standard libraries. I've heard GS Sweden are contemplating to do that in the SWE version, but it should be done globally.
It doesn't seem that GS's resellers are aware of it either, with a few exceptions. But if you just tell them you won't buy Archicad unless they present it to you, I guess you'll have it soon enough!

Wondering what kind of infrastructure is required... high-speed rail? space elevator? a system of inter-connected computers maybe?
