automatic A and B values

[Anonymous]

Hey guys,

I draw a lot in the 2d symbol putting things in different layers and using code like

IF layer1=1 THEN
FRAGMENT2 1,0
ENDIF

for every layer so I can turn things on and off.

The problem is the values of A and B don’t adjust automatically. I activated the “FIT size to 2D symbol” and the “create a bounding box”(compatibility options).

in layer 1 there is a box of 100 X 200
in layer 2 there is a box of 300 X 800

Archicad makes a perfect bounding box depending on the layer but the values of A and B are entire layers limits so they end up being always A=300 B=800.

Any code that i can make the A and B values= bounding box?

Thanks in advance
Luis

As well as changing the fragment for each different layer, you will also need ti rest the A & B values.

Maybe something like …

in the 2D script...

IF layer1=1 THEN
FRAGMENT2 1,0
ENDIF

IF layer1=21 THEN
FRAGMENT2 2,0
ENDIF

In the parameter script …

IF layer1=1 THEN
A= 0.100
B=0.-200
PARAMETERS A=A, B=B
ENDIF

IF layer1=21 THEN
A= 0.300
B=0.-800
PARAMETERS A=A, B=B
ENDIF

Hi Barry,

Thanks a lot for replying.

Ok, I though there was a way the program would do it automatically. ok then i will do it as you say.

Thanks
