graphic hotspot with 2 editable directions possible?

[Mats_Knutsson]

Hi,
We have a simple prism object that is editable in the Z-direction via a graphic hotspot. Is it possible to have that same hotspot also editable in the x-direction?

Hi.
Just write the code for the other hotspot so that their positions overlap.

Best regards.

Sure.
You need 2 hotspots for each point - one for the x and one for the z.
But the x hotspot need to have the z parameter in it and the z hotspot need the x.

To move the hotspot you have shown ...

hotspot c, -b/2, 0, unID, d, 1+128 : unID=unID+1
hotspot c, -b/2, -1, unID, d, 3+128 : unID=unID+1
hotspot c, -b/2, d, unID, d, 2 : unID=unID+1


hotspot 0, -b/2, d, unID, c, 1+128 : unID=unID+1
hotspot -1, -b/2, d, unID, c, 3+128 : unID=unID+1
hotspot c, -b/2, d, unID, c, 2 : unID=unID+1

You're a gem Barry! I have to admit I didn't understand that you gave me the actual code... right there in front of me... Now I've got it . https://youtu.be/wMjlw6O5bfw
Thanks again.

You are welcome.

I can't say I have ever seen a dancing Archicad model before.

It's a Swedish national sport... I was actually in sync but the vidcap program fps is really crap. Made me start to understand why my son is moaning about bad fps when gaming....
