how to use the wallhole2 command

Anonymous

Hello,
I'm trying to wrap my head around how to use the wallhole2 command, but I can't quite figure it out.

I created a new object with only the following in the 2d script:

temp4=.5

pen 1
mul2 -1, -1
add2 -a/2, 0

!used for reference
line2 0, 0, 0, wall_thickness
line2 a, 0, a, wall_thickness
line2 a+temp4, 0, a+temp4, wall_thickness

wallhole2 5, 2, 10, 10, 0, 0, 0, 
	0, 0, 0, 
	0, wall_thickness, 0, 
	a+temp4, wall_thickness, 0, 
	a+temp4, 0, 0, 
	0, 0, -1

del top
which, if I have understood the description of the command correctly, should create an opening of width "a+temp4", instead of the usual width of "a". However, the script only draws the three lines I created for reference, and the opening stays the same. Am I missing something? I have attached an image of how it looks now.

(I also took a look at this thread, but it still didn't work?, https://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=27382)

I don't know why it doesn't show in the 2D preview window of the script editor,
But it will show when you place the window in an actual wall.
