WALL_​SKINS_​PARAMS and Building_​Material_​info

[Joachim Sühlo]

I try to read the surface material from a composite wall for a window, but it seems that the Request “Building_Material_info” does not work quite well.
The Material is shown in 3D Window of GDL-Editor correctly as well as in the Lib-Part-Preview, but not in the 3D Window (AC 18 and 19). See attached Scrennshot.

My script is as following:

DIM wand_fill[], wand_fill_pen[], wand_back_pen[], wand_cont_pen[], wand_thck[], wand_cont_pen_unten[], wand_mat[], mat_index[]

FOR ii=1 TO ski_no
	wand_fill[ii] 			= WALL_SKINS_PARAMS[ii][1]
	wand_fill_pen[ii]		= WALL_SKINS_PARAMS[ii][4]
	wand_back_pen[ii]		= WALL_SKINS_PARAMS[ii][5]
	wand_cont_pen[ii]		= WALL_SKINS_PARAMS[ii][9]
	wand_cont_pen_unten[ii]	        = WALL_SKINS_PARAMS[ii][7]
	wand_thck[ii]			= WALL_SKINS_PARAMS[ii][2]
	wand_mat[ii]			= WALL_SKINS_BMAT_NAMES[ii][1]
	x = REQUEST{2} ("Building_Material_info", wand_mat[ii], "gs_bmat_surface", mat_index[ii])

NEXT ii

MATERIAL IND(MATERIAL, mat_index[1])

How do you get the ski_no value?

ski_no = WALL_SKINS_NUMBER
And the REQUEST was not correctly copied (Array-Index) was missing:
x = REQUEST{2} ("Building_Material_info", wand_mat[ii], "gs_bmat_surface", mat_index[ii])
This seems to be prohibited by the forum software (square brackets where left out)

I corrected the codes: please use ohter variables than i for the loops in this forum. “i” in square brackets is for italic in BBCode, that’s why it is eliminated from codes.

Gergely, did you find out anything about this issue?

WALL_SKINS_BMAT_NAMES did not work in 3D views in AC18&19. It will be corrected for AC20.

Hi Gergely (and Joachim),
I thought i would add this question here as it is related.
I have a problem where the WALL_SKINS_PARAMS is not working in the 3D script but works in the 2D script.
I am creating plaster returns for my windows and the 2D works fine but the 3D is acting as if the wall is a single skin saying the index is greater than the array dimension.

SCRIPT (identical in 2D and 3D)
if WALL_SKINS_NUMBER > 1 then
!!——————————————-INTERNAL
SKINFillInt = “”
SKINThickInt = .010
SKINPenInt = 1
SKINPenFillInt = 1
SKINPenBGInt = 1
if GLOB_CONTEXT # 5 then
SKINFillInt = WALL_SKINS_PARAMS[WALL_SKINS_NUMBER][1]
SKINThickInt = WALL_SKINS_PARAMS[WALL_SKINS_NUMBER][2]
SKINPenInt = WALL_SKINS_PARAMS[WALL_SKINS_NUMBER][9]
SKINPenFillInt = WALL_SKINS_PARAMS[WALL_SKINS_NUMBER][4]
SKINPenBGInt = WALL_SKINS_PARAMS[WALL_SKINS_NUMBER][5]
endif
material WALL_MAT_A

I have a related issue, I assume that the limitation or the wall_skins_number is only the skins that are being cut in the 2d plane? or is there a way to get the info for all the skins cut and not?
