I noticed that this post was updated a few days ago.
By coincidence, I posted a question about the wall framing accessory a couple of weeks ago:
https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Design-forum/Wall-framing-accessory-question/m-p/319759#M155582
I had noted an issue with regards to the position of the framing: it always seems to line up with the wall face, rather than the framing cavity. There does not appear to be a parameter (automatic or manual) to offset the framing into the cavity.
I edited the standard wall framing GDL library part and added a parameter, and initial testing shows that with this simple change it aligns nicely in 2D and 3D. I'm wondering if Graphisoft plans to do any further work on this tool (even though it is part of the unsupported Goodies Suite) to make it more functional.
Dear @Eric Bobrow,
Thanks a lot for bringing our attention to this limitation!
Firstly, I'd like to clarify what the update of the above article was about. As you know, Graphisoft Community is still in its early days and we're trying our best to organize the existing content so that users can navigate through the platform easily. This was the purpose of the update, the content of the article hasn't changed.
More to the point now 🙂 Based on your observations, I've contacted our development team. The topic of Goodies Suite support will be raised for the API guild next Tuesday 😁
I'll let you know once I have more information on this!

The Accessories add-on, especially wall accessories, has been very useful in many occasions. I wish it wouldn't be under a constrant threat of discontinuing.
The wall accessory object works quite nicely still, however if you update the zone after moving say a door, all the properties in the wall accessory object revert to a default setting which is the last setting you used for objects generally
It would be nice if the code that does that could be rewritten
So what have you done with the Accessories in 26? I see that 25 files that had (for example) the Roof Surfacer 25 metal roof will still function in 26 when I open the 25 file with it. But there is no Accessory folder, or Library in the 26 Demo I am using. So I could still use the Accessories in 26, but it would have to be done the hard way ?
@Steve Jepson Please read the Disclaimer at the end of the article... The Accessories are part of the Goodies, a separate download and installation. If you have issues with them or anything else, please post a question to the forums - not in response to knowledgebase articles. 🙂
Thanks Carl,
I always seem to forget that I need to install the Goodies Tools.
There is no Accessories Library folder in 26 to add either until after you install the Goodies Accessory Tool.
And there is are no Menu options for the Accessories either - until after the Accessory Tool is installed.
