Adjust position to story height

[Mats Knutsson]

Hi,

I’ve got a lamp object and I place it with its “bottom” at a certain distance from the floor. I have lamp coords going up to the roof and I’d like the length of the coords to be dynamic and adjust to the roof (story height-object placement height).

storyheight= GLOB_CSTORY_HEIGHT
objectplacementheight = ?

CYLIND storyheight-objectplacementheight, 0.01

I can’t even get the GLOB_CSTORY_HEIGHT to work and for the level of the placed object I have no clue.

I have many noobish questions (would actually like GS to publish some examples). The Handbook+Cookbook have to few actual examples. The Cookbook has som …when I manage to find them… IMO it’s a peculiar piece of text…

🙂 Mats

Try GLOB_ELEVATION or the operation SYMB_POS_Z – GLOB_CSTORY_ELEV for objectplacementheight.
