Window / Door Marker saved as a Fovourite

Hi,

Is there a way to save a window/ door marker as a favourite so that I can apply just the markers parameters to a different window?

Unfortunately no.

What you can do is open the Door/Window Marker for editing.
There you will see the list of parameters. Set them to the desired values and save it as a new Door/window Marker.
Do this with every Favorite style you need.
You will then have these Marker styles available for Doors/Windows. When you want to choose one, just select that Marker and it will default to the parameters you saved it with.

Thanks Lazlo. How do I open the Door/Window Marker for editing?

John:

Go to Open Object by Subtype, then navigate to the Window-Door Markers to select the Marker you want to modify.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Hello,

Where would I find the 'open by subtype' command? I can get a direct 'open object' dialogue, but the menu displayed in David Maudlin's screen-grab is elusive.

Thanks for your help

You either need to edit your Work Environment to include this command in the menus or just open the "Edit GDL Library Parts" toolbar (WINDOWS menu > TOOLBARS).
It should be the 6th button along.
