Help with modifying an Archicad 27 object

Hi everybody! I was trying to modify a default label so I could rotate the text if the label is at 90 degrees. The default property label rotates the text and label together so the text is also 90 degrees. I made a copy of the library part and add a variable line for the text. After I saved it and tried to use it, I don't see where I can change the text angle. I have attached the library part if you would like to review it. I'm a beginner when it comes modifying library parts and would appreciate any input. Thanks!

That script has a "Bouncer"! The HIDEPARAMETER and LOCK commands in the Parameter Script are probably hiding your new variable before you even get a chance to use it.

Also, the macro uses AC_LabelOrientation to move everything at once. Since the text and frame are "married" inside that hidden macro, you can't rotate one without the other.

Modifying these default Graphisoft files is a rabbit hole -- I'd suggest you avoid the headache and just script a simple custom version from scratch by using any LLM.
