Library part maker - resizing objects

[Rogerio M]

Hello everyone,

I've recently started using the Library Part Maker (LPM) to create custom objects for my firm. So far, I've made good progress using Graphisoft's manual and successfully created some objects. However, I've encountered an issue: I can't resize the objects after saving them.

When I open the object settings, the input fields for parameters like A, B, or Zzyzx are missing.

Does anyone know why this might be happening or how I can make these fields appear in the settings? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Operating system used: Windows Windows 10 - Intel Core i7-9700 3GHz - 32Gb

I think this could be caused by the HIDEPARAMETER command in the Parameter Script of the generated Library Part.

The HIDEPARAMETER command would be used with the A, B, and ZZYZX parameters.

So, in the Parameter Script look for this:

HIDEPARAMETER "A", "B", "ZZYZX"

or this:

HIDEPARAMETER ALL

The first will hide those three parameters (Length, Width, Height, respectively) from the User Interface, the second will hide all parameters.

If library parts created by LPM have the same 2D and 3D script structure as Save-As ones, commenting the lines highlighted by Laszlo will do the trick. If it does not, you could possibly amend the two scripts yourself by adding the relevant MUL commands to the start of them.

!2D Script
MUL2 A/[original width], B/[original depth]

!3D Script
MUL A/[original width], B/[original depth], ZZYZX/[original height]
