GDL: Hotspot :graphikal edit

I have created a graphical hotspot to change the parameters of the GDL object.

HOTSPOT x, y, z [, unID [, paramReference [, flags [, displayParam [, "customDescription"]]]]]

 

When I'd like to edit this object in a cross-sectional view, I can edit the parameter values in the graphical hotspot in the S6 cross-sectional view in the attached image, but I cannot change the parameter values in the graphical hotspot in the S7 cross-sectional view.
In some cases other objects do not have this problem, what could be the cause?

Can you see the hotspot? You do not have overlapping hotspots do you? If you do, are you accessing the correct hotspot?

If your graphical hotspot is moving sideways in S6, then when you view it in S7, you are trying to move it forward and backward.

You can't do this in an elevation - only left, right, up or down.

So any movement left-right in one elevation, won't work in another.

Any movement vertically will work in all elevations.

 

View it in 3D and you should be able to change it there if you rotate to the correct angle.

Thanks you.

In this case, the hotspot is vertical, which works for S6 but not for S7.
I dont know why this happens...

Thanks.I had overlooked a mistake in unID. Now this problem has been resolved.

Didn't find the answer?
