These are brilliant. I'm slowly getting to grips with GDL and I wonder if you have a version that works in ArchiCAD 17 to look at the code? Thanks!
The code is locked cause I use it as master to make commercial object you can find on my web site.

Most of the download links are dead, I don't suppose anyone could re-host?

Although - there are certain good functioning solutions for freeform windows available in the web - i tried to start a new one with the code from VinceV6.

It takes the polygone - closed - for the wallhole-command and puts certain tubes on it to simulate the window-frame and other parts like the exterior and interior plaster - so that the section-shows the plaster also in the window-reveal - which is not implemented in the normal archicad-window -library yet. (here - only in the 2D-groundview its implemented - but not in 3D and not in the sections!!?).

My problems here:

First: How can i supress the separation line between the wallhole and my plaster-tube?

Second: GDL provides me with the names of the building-materials of the layers in the wall. But building-materials cant be used directly in GDL - just surface-materials. Is there a possibility to get the right surfacematerials out of the names of the buildingmaterials?

In the meantime, i figured aut, that it seems to be simply locked by Graphisoft, to read out the building materials - but just for 3d. In 2D ist is possible to use the commands and it works perfect but in 3 D - no way!
 

WSBN=WALL_SKINS_BMAT_NAMES[1]            !building material


t = REQUEST{2} ("Building_Material_info", WSBN, "gs_bmat_surface", surface)  !!GDL-manual german S378
r = REQUEST ("Name_of_material", surface, name)


I tried the code above in the masterscript - which works for both 2D and 3D-scripts - but it makes different results.

Very bad! It took me hours to find out and to really belive it!!

Why is this made this way by Graphisoft? Is this one of the intern not really documented "policys" do make it really hard to script good library-Parts?

I hope someone from Graphisoft reads this and feels my .... disappointment...


Who is the woman or man there -the BOSS of GDL at Graphisoft - who makes such decicions - i really would like to get in contact directly!

Please - if You read this, "GDL-Boss" - Yes - You - write back here "in the open", come into the discussion - take part - please!

You might want to try posting your concern on the new GDL Center Forum.

http://gdl.graphisoft.com/forums/

Graphisoft seem to take a more active role with regards to GDL there.
