rotating a slab as a lib. part

I came to a problem- here is the procedure: I make a slab in shape of a circle- then i select it and save it in a floor plan "save selection as" as a gdl object. then i open the gdl object "open library parts" and rotate it around a vector with a command ROT (...). Then the slab becomes a wall... BUT the hotspots of a slab arent rotated with! So in the 3D view they stay on the same place and only the shape is rotated... I want them rotated. What to do???

This may sound odd, but you need to modify the 2D script as well.

The easiest way is to wipe out the script Archicad created, and replace it with:
PROJECT2 3, 270, 2
This makes the 2D symbol an actual plan view of whatever the 3D model is. So if you're rotation angle is something other than 90, you can still get a decent 2D symbol.

I hopt I understood your problem correctly, and that this was helpful.

...thank you Dwight. This sounds helpful and I am going to try it. Say- this 3D GDL stuff in ArchiCAD is something that is basic knowledge?
