Hi, I am dipping my toe back into some GDL scripting after years away from it. I have made a simple 2D object conisting of a bunch of fills copied from plan view into the GDL scropt editor window. Each fill corresponds to a user selectable aluminium ...

Whoever designed the label tool multi node pointer line was clearly an active sadist, or more kindly, someone who has never documented a drawing. There seems no obvious or intuitive way at all to adjust pointer line nodes dynamically in a way that gi...

Hi, I am bumping in to an issue where if I SEO subtract a composite wall with upwards extrusion from a sloping composite roof, then by default the composite skins do not clean up with each other in section. However If I then use the merge function be...

I have a situation in which a text block needs to display in readable orientation, with a view that needs to be rotated to fit the sheet (a large awkwardly shaped site), when placed on a layout. I have found the 'always readable' toggle has no effect...

I am almost certainly missing something obvious, but cannot seem to get placed slabs to automatically appear with cover fill pencolour reflecting the used surface cover fill foreground pencolour. I am essentially trying to create some 3D diagrams whe...

Hi Laszlo Side by side screenshots below. True line weight is off. Larger image is 350% display scaling, smaller image is my standard 175% display scaling. Essentially, the 350% screenshot on the left looks like the line weights are being scaled up a...

OK, I just tested and can verify the issue when display scaling is set to 350%. I have two 50" 4K monitors side by side, and with one set to scaling 350% and the other set to 175%, dragging the same ArchiCAD window from side to side between them, the...

Although I originally started this thread, and things were certainly never 100% fixed under AC26 & 27 I am glad to say the 4K scaling display issues seem to have finally gone away for me under AC28. Linework is now all crisp, menu text is correctly s...
