Hi All,
I don't know GDL at all; but I have a gsm symbol file that I like and want to use as a window marker...what is a simple procedure to do so?

Please help!!!

David:

I took a look at the ArchiCAD Library 9, the SE library should be similar. If the Library is a .pla file, then you will first need to extract it so the library is composed of files and folders. The marker file itself is "Window Marker.gsm" and it is at ArchiCAD Library 9.lib > Object Library 9 > 01 General 9 > Marker Symbols 9 > Window Marker.gsm. You will also need a macro for this marker ("WD Marker.gsm"), it is at ArchiCAD Library 9.lib > Object Library 9 > MACROS 9 > Marker Macros 9 > WD Marker.gsm. Place copies of both of these files in a folder and load this folder as one of your libraries for the project. This marker should then be available in the project.

David,
I would be happy to follow this wonderful instructions; however I don't have the same files you mentioned inside the SE library...see attached file list!!!
I downloaded from the Graphisoft site!!

Sorry...

Do you know where I can find a complete SE library file?

David:

I just checked and the file and folder names are nearly the same between the 9 and SE libraries, the SE library just added "SE9" to the names. As for finding the libraries, you should try searching the Graphisoft web site, this forum, or contacting your reseller. In any case, you could use the files I mentioned from the regular library found on your ArchiCAD 9 installation CD.
