Why Dimentions are static in Int. Elevation?

Do you know why all kinds of Dimentions are static in Int. Elevation?

Every time I move an element in plan I have to go t each InteriorElevation view, delete the old Dimentions and make new ones!

Vistasp, how did you translate from German?
Did you use a translator and if so what is the name of the software?
Or do you speak German too
Hi Rod,

Unfortunately I don't know German so I rely on the Foxlingo plugin for Firefox. I say unfortunately because there seems to be a huge amount of GDL content in German. My wife does know a bit of it (German, not GDL) but the CAD stuff really throws her.

We have something in English and Hungarian, too.

English: sections 3.5 and 3.6 of Technical Standards: http://www.graphisoft.com/ftp/techsupport/documentation/developer_docs/BasicLibraryDoc/12/LibDevGuid...

Hungarian: stuff I teach at the university from: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dg4s9hvs_3g32zqzfs

I can change both if you have any additions.

Thanks for the links, Zsolt. Is there an offline (PDF) version of the devguide available? One problem (that's been discussed on this forum before) is that the sources of information are so widespread, one often doesn't know where to look.

I'm struggling with the Hungarian page - Foxlingo failed spectacularly with it.

You can download the whole Basic Library (macros, samples and documentation) as a small ZIP file from http://www.graphisoft.com/support/developer/downloads/

Unfortunately, this version is updated less often than the solo HTML files.

The Hungarian description is for a minority, I know. The ratio of Hungarian speakers is 1:425 in the world but I guess it is around 1:100 in the GDL developer community 😉

Cheers,
