HELP! Easy one..

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

Just starting to dabble into GDL.. not to bad, but if you guys could help me short cut one thing:

1. Here is a concrete frame I created with slabs
2. I saved as .GSM
3. added the ROTx 90 note to rotate into the vertical direction (see 3D)
4. Here's the question: Now the 2D Plan view (which I redrew to show a concrete footing and dashed overhead frame) stretches out to 12' which I guess is from the original Z direction?? What I want is to just rotate the slab but represent the 2D plan info differently??



Help!!

one more piece of info:

My goal is to represent the frame legs as 8" thick (not 12') as shown..

you could always put this into your 2D script:

hotspot2 0, 0
hotspot2 A, 0
hotspot2 A, B
hotspot2 0, B
hotspot2 A/2, B/2

project2 3, 270, 2

and delete the lines you're drawing directly in the 2D window. this will generate a hidden-line top view of the 3D window to use as the 2D symbol until you're ready to work on the 2D symbol in more detail . . .
