HOTARCs EXIST!!

[Anonymous]

I noticed one of the ArchiCad9 objects (the Tube in Basic Shapes 9) has a refrence to command called "HOTARC2" in the 2D script. I hadn't noticed this in the manual so I thought I would share this interesting little discovery!

Here's an extract from the script:


LINE_TYPE gs_outer_line
poly2_b 2, mask, gs_fill_pen, gs_back_pen,
0, 0, 901,
radius_1, 360, 4001

hotarc2 0,0,radius_1,0,180
hotarc2 0,0,radius_1,180,360

poly2_b 2, mask, gs_fill_pen, gs_back_pen,
0, 0, 901,
radius_1-tube_thk, 360, 4001

hotarc2 0,0,radius_1-tube_thk,0,180
hotarc2 0,0,radius_1-tube_thk,180,360


(Or am I being a dummy - is it mentioned in the manual?)

this was a part of the GDL new features set for 9

hotarc2 and hotline2 have now joined hotspot2 to give us greater control over the snappable elements of a GDL object in the floor plan view. and very welcome too!
