Parametric cut fills in a Library Part

Daniel Lindahl

Is it possible to script what cut fills / building materials to use for various parts of a Library Part? I would like to assign different cut fills within the one object.

However I can't seem to find a GDL syntax for this.
cheers

You will be wanting to use SECT_FILL every time you want to change the fill.
You can't use Building Materials in objects so you can only specify the section fill.
You may need to ensure you use MODEL SOLID as well otherwise you will have hollow elements.

Thanks Barry,
that worked a treat! Don't know how I missed that in all my years of scripting!
