.gsm pen number error

[Anonymous]

I made lots of custom window sashes.
And with a few of them I am getting error messages when in 3D

"Pen number is less than 1 or greater than 255
at line 10642 in the 3D script of file 2-4x5.gsm."

How can I get to that specific line in teh 3D script to fix it?
I know how to get to the 3D script, but then not how to get to a certain line to find this error and see what the pen is.

If you use the 'check script' button it will take you to whatever errors there are. It's not as handy as finding that excact line, but will eventually get you there (if there are more errors).

In the 3D script window use CTRL-L (windows standard shortcut, is it CMD-L in mac?; or with the script open, use EDIT->Go to line...) and type the line number from the error (10642 in your case).

You could also show the "Edit GDL library parts" toolbar, it has some more options to work with scripts.

Hope that helps.

Best regards

Yes, and will show you the current line location of the cursor.

Beware,
the line in the message is the first place where the code fails, it doesn't mean that the error is in that particular line.

Also be sure to check your parameter table values. Everything in your script can be fine but if you give an incorrect parameter value in your parameter table, it can cause this error. This is easy to do if you create a pen parameter with a value of 0.
