      Hi,
      As always I understand nothing. I scripted a simple floor drain and I can’t manage to get the fill orientation to follow the object instead of the global origin. I tried poly2{2} but couldn’t figure it out. I tried project2{2} but couldn’t figure that one out either. I just suck at this. Please help me with an example script. I lack examples intensely when it comes to the gdl documentation… or I’m just to stupid to understand.

      POLY2_B{2} can do it. There are parameters for fill origin and angle. You need add 8 to the frame_fill to get it to respect the local origin.

      hi Mats
      Just out of interest is the fill symbolic or a real representation of the grill pattern?

        A symbolic pattern. Should be diagonal (45 degrees) to the object. I use a regular ANSI fill. Will try to figure out how to code it according to James’s tips. I just would like to see a code example to learn from.

      Here is a script, 8 sets the rotation to match the rotation of the object
      a/2, b/2 puts the origin of fill at the centre of the object.
      pen penAttribute_1
      fill fillAttribute_1
      poly2_b{5} 5, 2, 0, 8, penAttribute_1, penAttribute_2,
      a/2, b/2, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0,
      0, 0, 1,
      a, 0, 1,
      a, b, 1,
      0, b, 1,
      0, 0, 1

      the screenshot shows the parameters

        Rally thank you! Works like charm. Now for the definition of B{5} to understand what’s going on.

        Really thank you! Works like charm. Now for the definition of B{5} to understand what’s going on.

      I have to confess I cheated.
      I drew a fill block on the floor plan and saved it as a object.
      I created it at the origin to a known size (600×600) using a fill geometry ‘linked to the fill origin.
      I then selected it and saved it as an object, opened the object and edited the 2D script.
      I can go into more detail if that would help but I’m not sure how much you know.
      Let me know if you need more guidance.
      Hope this helps

      This is my master piece (huge irony)

      I used a GOSUB for the fills in 2D but need to change to a fill that allows me to control the outline colour.
      The 3D is pure cheat in that sense I have three different “complete” geometries (GOSUB). I guess the holes in the slab can be done with a FOR … NEXT loop but that’s for later.
      Thanks for all kind help?

      Next venture is UI.
