wall skins cause door errors

[Anonymous]

I don't know if anyone has seen or reported this as but we discovered today that

if - your wall is a composite structure
and - you set one or more of the dividing lines between skins to "hidden"
and - you set the wall to display per the structure's settings
and - the door "general settings/walltype" is set to "brick veneer" or "stud wall with siding"

THEN

the door (D1 commercial, etc) generates the following error

pen number is less than 1 or greater than 255 at line 1003 in the 2D script of file wa_trim_us_10.gsm.

---

hope this helps if anyone else is having this trouble!

Looks like a bug in the macro. Report it to GS per mail please. You can fix it by your own to avoid error message, You have to modify the certain line (1003 ) in the script. Jump to it by Command-L in the macros 3D-script.

There has to be something like

PEN WALLSKINSPARAMS[...][7 or 9]

in this line. The pen number aftre PEN may not be less than 1. You can proof this by

IF WALLSKINSPARAMS[...][7 or 9]>0 THEN PEN WALLSKINSPARAMS[...][7 or 9]

[...][7 or 9] you have to change as it is written in the line.

Make shure to have a backup of the GSM before you do any changes. 😉
