    I found a workaround for the specific case. I was trying to define an array based on the wall skins data, while in the script there was currently 0 skins, which the DIM didn’t like. Turned out I didn’t need the array anyway. So I’ll file this one for now, thank you for the info.

    That works on the site, thanks. My first search is still in the GDL Manual.

    Thank you very much, glad I asked. The only way (besides this forum) I have to see if something is possible in GDL is to search the manual for the name of the feature. Unfortunately I couldn’t find this request because the term “oriented view” isn’t in the description. It would be good when updating documentation to make sure that there is a clear connection between the user-facing feature and the GDL documentation. Thanks again. The responsiveness of the library team here has been great.

    It seems that WALLLINE2 does not respond to DRAWINDEX. I had my heavy cut lines drawn in front, and when I changed LINE2 to WALLLINE2, they fell back. Is there anything to do about this?

    That’s a good solution that I considered as well, but the trouble is that it sort of doesn’t scale because I have dozens of shapes implemented in numerous objects. That’s why I keep as much data as possible in the shape macros themselves. Then it is just a matter of creating a new shape and adding to the appropriate vales lists.

    I went ahead with the parsing solution with a long and short option, working fine. Thanks again for your help.

    Yes, string parameter from a values list. The macro is called by variable, which is discouraged in 19+ but I don’t see a way around it.

    I will try the parsing approach. Thanks for the quick reply!
