I try to make them easy to use but also in a detail level so we can use them in other projects like in 3D Studio, Unity and Unreal.
I have in my code a simple way to switch between 'simple' and 'detailed' but when we work with large areas it gets slow when we have to select all the objects to switch between the detail levels by changing a parameter.
So I was thinking, maybe I can use the PSD to handle the detail levels.
Is there a way in GDL to connect the code with the PSD settings, so when i use 'core only' we have a simple object and with 'Entire model' we have a more complex and detailed model?

Johnzon:
Yes, there is a Global Variable, GLOB_STRUCTURE_DISPLAY, that returns the current Partial Structure Display setting. Another option is to create your own Model View Option variables, which could be set independent of the Partial Structure Display.
You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
