Hi All, I was testing a simple hidden line object that is placeable as an associated label to show objects when hidden behind joinery such as GPO's. The intention being that if the GPO was repositioned in the floor plan view, then the elevational vie...

Hi All, As the title suggests, I am trying to sweep a circular profile along an arc path, however the sweep end angle is not exactly 90 degrees to the sweep start angle (see image below). I also know that the tube command does something similar, I wa...

Hi All, I am having an issue where I have created a font type parameter in an object subtype, however the font type doesn't want to work in the child object. See script below: Parameter in subtype = fta_font_type (string) 2D script define style "font...

Hi All, As the topic suggests, is there a way to compare two values, one being a positive value and the other a negative, and determine which is the larger value? For example, I have two values, the first is 589 and the second is -788. I want to comp...

I have recently been experimenting with Figma to quickly create User Interfaces for Archicad GDL Objects with some success. I am interested to know what workflows others have been using to create user interfaces for Archicad objects?

Hi Barry, The custom label object is a very simple rectangle constructed with line2 commands with parameters to control the width and height. The images demonstrate what happens when I move the labelled element, as you can see in the first two images...

I think this is something Graphisoft has failed to recognise and resolve for a very long time. Whilst GDL allows you to go quite deep in terms of level of customisation, the amount of time you need to invest to develop a working object template is no...

Hi @Chicken, I believe you will need to put "drawindex 40" infront of the line2 script segment. Cheers, Jarrod

Hi @Chicken, welcome to the world of GDL scripting.In response to the second part of your first question, you can use the ‘values’ command to create options (there are more complex ways to do this however this should suffice). You will firstly need t...

Hi @Laszlo Nagy , Thanks for your assistance in breaking down the GDL reference guide, I really appreciate it. Barry is correct, I am looking for an elbow that scales at both ends. It’s a shame that GDL doesn’t behave consistently across different co...
