There is a bit more in my case study I did  awhile ago https://Graphisoft.com/case-studies/exploring-Archicad-algorithms-and-parameters-with-gdl-coding 🙂
Some use for this object after all this time 🙂

Super!  And nice write-up for the case study...which somehow I had not seen before.  (Graphisoft needs to put dates on those pages... and highlight them here in the Community.)

 

Sadly, the entire world knows where Lviv is now.  I hope you, your family and colleagues are all safe.
