[Anonymous]

Hi! how can I avoid the 2D stretchable part that gets deformed when stretched?
Thanks

[Nader Belal]

Where is the GDL script ??

No problemo
[list=]

First, for getting the best results, use the code options that is supplemented in this forum to past in it the GDL code.

[list=]

Second, luckily your issue is quiet simple, what happened here (as it appears to me) you have used the automatic scripting supplied by ArchiCAD (great for quick fixes), but in your case the figure it have created, is for applying a non linear scaling, not stretching as you need

[list=]

Third, you will need to do the modifications by hand and it will imply many trials and errors and some GDL reading from the manual

[list=]

4th, all above "pen penAttribute_3" is to be deleted, and you will be able to stretch it using parameter A for length in the parameter window

[list=]

5th, line2 is for drawing 2D lines, with X1,Y1 the coordinates of the first point and X2,Y2 the coordinates of the second point

[list=]

6th, infront each line2 put the "!" symbole to deactivate all the lines at once

[list=]

7th,start deleteing the "!" symbole to activate the desired line, then by trial and error you will know which line script correspond to which line in the drawing, then subtitle the X1 or X2 with this formula 0.5*A or -0.5*A

[list=]

8th, after finish this process you get a 2D object the will stretch both sides of the object's coordinates without deformety

[Barry Kelly]

In short, if you want an object to be stretchable with out distortion, then you need to script the parts based on size parameters and position them in relation to each other and their size.
In other words, you will need to manually script the object.

Selecting lines/elements in plan and 'Saving As' and object is fine, but not so good when you want to adjust the elements size.
You will need to save a new object.

Barry.

[Erwin Edel]

Rule of thumb I use here: how often will I end up changing the object? How much time does that take (changing it, saving it again etc) and how much time do I think I'll spend scripting something 'smart' / 'parametric'?

Sometimes you can get by with having a 'dumb' one off, but sometimes it's worth investing a bit of time into scripting something that can be used over and over and is flexible.

Thank you for all your suggestions and help, my problem I don't know GDL and it will be very difficult for me to change the script.
Thanks.

[Nader Belal]

I have just told you how

[Nader Belal]

@giuseppe

try this code

line2 0', 0', 0', 1'

& voila, now you have understood your first GDL command

[Anonymous]

Sorry, But I don't know where I need to put this code
