Show door handle type (gs_handle_type) on a door marker plan view

[KevinJ]

Hello, I'm searching a way to show the door handle type (or gs_handle_type) in plan view door marker.
In schedules I can call this GDL property with gs_handle_type like so : 

But for the marker there is not this possibility to call this kind of parameters (I believe a GDL Library part Parameters)

I was thinking to create a special property within property manager : and then call in the marker setting 
But I don't see how to call such GDL parameter here : 

So very easy with schedules but over complicated with marker; did I miss something ?
Any idea ?  

Operating system used: Windows

Unfortunately, Properties do not have access to the values of Parameters of Library Parts. It is a limitation. This functionality has been wished for for a long time, but it has not been implemented yet.

The door/window markers are objects so would have to be modified to display object parameters.

I think this could be done but you will have to have some knowledge of GDL.

What about using an autotext label instead of  marker?

Not so automatic as you have to place the label, but they can show object parameters.

Thanks for answering that fast ! 
Look like I was chasing ghost ! But as it was possible in schedules I thought it must be possible neither creating a property or using the parameters directly. I guess handle type will only show in schedules then !  Maybe you know if they could show in the IFC file ? That would also be convenient for builders ...

Hi,

I think Barry's idea might be easy to implement.

You just need to use the marker's existing "handle" parameter.
There are just two short lines to add to the beginning of the marker's master script.

rrr = request ("ASSOCLP_PARVALUE", "gs_handle_type", index_ew, type_ew, flags_ew, dim1_ew, dim2_ew, handle_type)
PARAMETERS strHandlePrefix = handle_type
!!!!PARAMETERS strHandleValue = handle_type

Ok, actually I didn't see/know handle was an option in content 4. 
Made the change in GDL 
BUT in your proposition the value "handle 1" show in title row ! 

Is there a way to show only value ? 

But you confirm that there is no way to call/request a value from GDL object as a property ? 
Expect ID and size all my value in the stamp are as property:

True it's here

Voted for that.

I can confirm it's not possible to get GDL parameters in the properties.

Here's a video with another method that addresses your IFC request.
In the video, the "Add as Library Part Independent" function allows you to get the value for other objects using the same parameter.

Nice solution.

It is easy to forget that Labels can display the values of IFC Properties, and you can map Library Part parameters to IFC Properties and display those in the Labels. No Properties needed.
