Profile Stack 2D Detail object

[Mathias Jonathan]

A GDL object that automatically generates a joinery section detail (window/door) by vertically stacking 3 ArchiCAD complex profiles — Head, Glazing, Sill — without having to redraw the section by hand for each configuration.

What it actually does:

Stacks the 3 complex profiles into a single coherent section, with cut fills and cut pens picked up automatically from each component's building material (REQUEST("Profile_component_info", ...) + Building_Material_info).

The glazing stretches freely in height via a single hotspot placed on the origin of the Sill profile (not on some arbitrary corner of the bounding box) — the displayed value is the actual distance between the origin of the Head profile and that of the Sill, not just a raw height.

Pre-registered type system: up to 10 profile combinations (Head/Glazing/Sill) can be saved in advance and selected either from a dropdown in the interface, or directly by clicking a small triangular button placed to the left of the object in plan view — letting you cycle through several standard joinery details without reopening the settings.

Profile selection is filtered by the Object profile type, so the list doesn't get cluttered with wall/beam/column profiles.
