GLOB_ELEM_TYPE of Wallend

Jochen Suehlo
Advisor

GLOB_ELEM_TYPE of Wallend gives back the VALUE 3 in a label which is the same as "Window".

How can I label a wallend as wallend like the Text/Autotext label does?

I was hoping for using ANCESTRY_INFO, but that does not work for the labeled elements, just for the element itself....

But I think what you can do instead is to check for the presence of "AC_fit_to_wall_height", since that comes with the subtype ("blue parameter") and is not available in windows.

Or you just check the name of the labeled element.

Hi @Jochen Suehlo 

 

Apparently there is no specific GLOB_ELEM_TYPE for Wallend (GDL Reference Guide p 344).

🤔

Thank You, Runxel.
"AC_fit_to_wall_height" works well.
I have initialised this variable with - 1000 m, so that it should fit in most 🙂 cases.
