An ArchiCAD reseller asked me for a simple 2D object that you could place in a storey or a plan and it shows its XYZ location. This takes just a few minutes if you relate it to the world origin.
But theres more to this than just symb_pos_x etc, He was after something that would show it in relation to a local project origin, not the world origin. i found that the global variables GLOB_WORLD_ORIGO_OFFSET_X etc. which are supposed to locate XYZ positions in relation to a Temporary Origin do not work in 9.0, they always come in as Zero, wherever the object or the local origin is. Couldnt find anything about XYZ location in earlier AC-talk conversations.
I also made an object using the SAMPLE script provided by GS to illustrate the use of these GVs, and they dont work in that object either!!
