I did open one of the Objects, located the parameters, and made them visible to input values; however, upon saving the changes, it wants to make that column into a new Object.
Well, that is good, because you are modifying a library part, and if it was left in the ArchiCAD Library, it would get replaced (deleted) when the ArchiCAD Library is updated. The first thing to do is
Save As... the library part into one of your office libraries, which will take it out of the ArchiCAD Library and give it a new
GUID.

How do make the parameters for the object in the AC library ?
BTW, do we have to disable "zzyzx"
As Zsolt Táskai mentioned, what you want to do is pass along the relevant heights to the
ac_toplevel and
ac_bottomlevel parameters for the
Relevant Stories option to work. So
zzyzx should be left alone. I did a quick addition to the
Parameter Script for the
W Column 15:
call "FM_types"
Parameters ac_bottomlevel = 0, ac_toplevel = zzyzx ! added line
sor=269
dim vekt[269]
This loads the height values into
ac_toplevel and
ac_bottomlevel parameters so the
Relevant Stories option works. These parameters remain hidden. They are somewhat crude, as they ignore the Floor Plan Cut Plane and just use the Story Heights, so if just a small part of the object is high or low enough to be on a Story the object will show. I think there is a way to script for the Floor Plan Cut Plan, but it is more complex. The
Parameters command is covered in the GDL Reference Guide.
Enjoy!
