I created mesh surface in Rhino 4. Exported this surface from Rhino do .3ds file.
Then opened the Archicad, converted the .3ds file to .gsm and inserted it. Now I want to substract the curtain wall from the mesh, but nothing happens when I try to do it. Actualy it does, this happens:

I get this message:
Pen number is less than 1 or greater than 255 at line 1 in the Master script of file "autobuska_stanica2.gsm"

STOP		CONTINUE
Is there a way to edit the .gsm file so that this error is fixed? Here is the .gsm file:

And here is the file in wich is the curtain wall with mesh:

Yup, no error message, the curtain wall subtracted from the curved surface. Ralph, seems to have the scoop on this one. Here is your part again (no changes)
Hm, I downloaded the .gsm file you gave me and inserted into Archicad .pln file, and the same thing happened - I still get an error message when trying to subtract, and still nothing happens after subtracting - the curtain wall is as it was before.

Can you upload the .pln file please. Maybe the problem is in the version of the Archicad, I am using a Archicad 12.
