!Restored: Stairmaker Divides Self By Zero, Chaos Ensues

[DennisG]

Greetings;

I'm trying to incorporate a simple L stair into my model, but something I did (or didn't do) is not allowing it to generate in 3D.

Naturally, I have a client waiting for this...

Here's a snippet of the error message:

Divide by zero
at line 376 in the 3D script of file WBC 101 Stair.gsm.
Opposite edge list direction in pgon 81.
Divide by zero
at line 376 in the 3D script of file WBC 101 Stair.gsm.
Opposite edge list direction in pgon 81.
Beginning generation of Section/Elevation:

Divide by zero
at line 376 in the 3D script of file WBC 101 Stair.gsm.
Opposite edge list direction in pgon 81.
Library part was not converted properly (ST01)

I have no idea how to edit a GSM file, even after searching AC Help and yes - even our esteemed ArchiTalk.

Help greatly appreciated.

Dennis

Sorry, didn't update profile.
Am now using ArchiCAD 11 1114.
Thanks,

You should edit it in Stairmaker. Click the "Check script" button now and then while you test changing parameters. I would guess that you've got a solid step or two that's overlapping at the inner L. Changing nosing or perhaps the node edge direction/origin model might fix it.
