I have all sorts of ideas of things I want to try scripting. Almost all of them will involve nested macro calls, but in particular, I want to be able to select from different sub-parts. I have worked out how to do the interface tabs with each script ...

I am having a strange problem with exporting to DWG.In one version of a file, I can export fine with the "03 For as is output" translator. It works and all the colours come through correctly. In a more recent version of the file - with a lot of new d...

If it is of any use to you, I have made a custom door marker that annotates the door as "clear opening width XXXmm" and calculates this correctly. I haven't yet managed to get it to draw the dimension lines - I've tried but need to get my head around...

If you look at the section titled "Connections between parameters" on this page it should explain how to do it. https://gdl.graphisoft.com/gdl-basics/parameter-logic I've not tried it myself, but it looks as though you check the value of GLOB_MODPAR_...

OK.  Thanks.  That is what I suspected but wanted to check.

To continue your door handle analogy, different door handles will need different parameters - a bar handle might need a length, a knob might only need a surface finish. What I was hoping is that the door didn't need to know what parameters a particul...
