Modifying GDL object

Greetings;

I am working with construction containers, and am excited to see that there are four container modules available in the construction components library.

Only one problem: containers come in two lengths, but these objects come in only one (shorter) length.

How can I modify specifically the length of the container object?

Much thanks,

Dennis

Nice. In german. But you should rename it, because there's a container.gsm in the AC9 standard lib.

more or less mixed..., the parameter values are still english, because I had no good mind to change them too (they are spread all over the scripts...).

but it's a good example for your poll here:

That may change country to country, because I don't have a container.gsm in my AC9 standard library
