Polygon error message - door/window related??

[rob2218]

guys I get this message on a PLN file I've created. the pln file contains two hotlinked files.
therefore the message comes up twice so it leads me to believe it's door issue that got mirrored or cant figure out the geometry of the door or something that's giving me this message....any help would greatly be appreciated.

archicad 12 US version

In GDL, there are elements that are defined by a polygon.
The error message says that there is a polygon in the definition of which the start point of the polygon and its end point are not exactly the same (that would result in a non-closed polygon).
I think if you find the offending part you should just delete it and place it again or use parameter transfer to get its parameters from another Door like that.
Probably a bad combination of parameters causes the problem, results in a case that is not handled well by the GDL.
But you don't have to worry about that, just replace it with another library part that works.

Yes, the buggy part can be in both the host and the hotlinked file.

It is 2D error. So you have to look for it in the floorplan.
Zoom in on the floorplan so you do not see any doors. Then pan a meter or so until a door is within the screen. Stop panning and let the floorplan calculate. If no error comes up repeat it again.

thanks...again...a bit of a pain for me.
i'm willing to send a guru the PLN file, and pay you for fixing the problem.

....I THINK I MAY HAVE DISCOVERED THE OFFENDING DOOR....
it's one of the "sliding pocket doors"...I believe.

Rob,

Could you please send the exact library version number of the library you're using? You can find all details in the ArchiCAD Library.version file in your ArchiCAD Library folder.

I'd like to track down the root of the problem...

Thanks,
