Locating broken/damaged object

[ares997]

If you have broken an object by setting the parameters to an out of range value which ion turn generates an error report when in 3d how do you locate that object specifically?

Is it by increasing the error report to "full" and looking through the error report?

Or is there a way to automate this process?

If the warnings and report are turned on in the work environment, you will be able to find out the offending object's ID. Then do a Find & Select by ID. Place a fresh instance of that part and recreate it correctly but you may need to reload the project or at least the library prior to placing the part, so the parameters reset to the defaults. If they're wrong, you'll need to edit the GDL code.

But it only gives me this information:


Number of processor cores : 8
Polygon is degenerated.
at line 667 in the 3D script of file D_Frame_Rectangular.gsm.
Polygon is degenerated.
at line 678 in the 3D script of file D_Frame_Rectangular.gsm.
Not enough edges in generatrix.
at line 687 in the 3D script of file D_Frame_Rectangular.gsm.


Which doesn't seem to be that easily searchable...

ares997:

It looks like there is an error occurring in the macro of a library part, due to a bad parameter being passed from the parent object to the macro. You will need to cut the model down (using the heavy marquee or layers) to narrow down the possible library parts until you discover the problematic one(s). Then you will need to adjust the parameter(s) of the part to fix the error message.

Macros are tougher to track down and GS would do well to improve the process. Surely the ArchiCAD database knows what part is using the macro and that could be included in the report?

At least with this one it's pretty safe to assume it's coming from a door.
