Unfortunately not.
Apart from the fact I can only get the name of complex profile walls (composite walls just come up ‘N/A’) it suffers from the same issue that a default (new) window does not yet belong to a wall so doesn’t get the wall name.
This is understandable but it used to use the default wall name in version 16 and before.
Why can it not do the same now?
When scripting it assumes the wall default still so why can’t it for a new window?

I have gotten around the problem by scripting in a parameter where the user can choose the brick type for a new window just so they can get the correct sizes but it will then automatically use the correct wall type once placed in a wall.
This just allows the user to set the correct size before placing the window rather than place the window, get the wrong size and then have to fix it.

Seems I could only add two images.
Here are the others.

Could we please have the forum hierarchy link duplicated at the bottom of the posts or at least have a ‘return to top’ link so we don’t need to scroll all the way back to the top as the posts start to get longer and longer?
Or a “next unread post” button would be nice.

Barry.

Thanks Gergely.
Makes it much easier to spot the new posts.

I still prefer the phpBB forums though.
This will take a little getting used to.

Yes the GDL centre is a good idea.
No I don’t like this forum.
I can’t always remember when I last read the posts and even when I can it doesn’t work.
I read posts about 6 hours ago – there was nothing from CadImage then – I am sure.
Now I look again and there is a post from CadImage 9 hours 44 minutes ago.
I haven’t even been at work for 9 hours (yet) and it wasn’t because I left the browser open and hadn’t refreshed – I started fresh this morning – and I am sure it wasn’t there until now.
Maybe I am mistaken.
So I could easily have missed this post – I like to read everything if I can – you never know what you might learn.

I like the Architalk forum or the Developers forum where new post are highlighted and don’t change until they are read – no matter how long it has been.
