Hi,
use parameters ac_wall_profile_name, ac_colu_profile_name, ac_beam_profile_name in the label to get the name of the composite or profile attribute.
(You could also use the globals WALL_COMPS_NAME, COLU_PROFILE_NAME, BEAM_PROFILE_NAME. For walls WALL_COMPS_NAME returns the composite name too, so that can go wrong if there exists a profile and a composite with the same name.)
Use that string with profile REQUESTs (“Profile_components”, “Profile_default_boundingbox”, “Profile_default_geometry”, “Profile_component_info”) to get the profile geometry, and draw what you’d like. You can only get the default profile geometry, profile offset modifiers currently aren’t accessible to GDL.
