PROFILE REQUEST PARAMETER SCRIPT

[Lingwisyer GC]

https://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&p=298537#p298537

n = REQUEST (“Profile_default_boundingbox”, name_or_index, xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax)

This request does not work in the parameter script, so is there some other way I can get parameters calculated from the min max returns to update their relevant parameters?

Width = abs(_xMax – _xMin)
Height = abs(_yMax – _yMin)

Hi,

No, but a profile type parameter shows it’s default size in the UI popup (and the request is usable in UI script).

Oh well… I was using it to calculate a maximum value and displaying that in the parameters for reference. Guess I will have to forgo that when using a complex profile.

Thanks,
Ling.

Would I need to duplicate the request in the UI Script? I removed the two parameters from the Parameter Script and inserted an infield for them but they do not change when the selected Complex Profile is changed.

I attached a screenshot of the “Profiled Rail” UI. The popup is an infield of a profile type parameter, in the red box you can see the size of the profile. This is done automatically by Archicad.
In the blue box there are two outfields based on variables returned by the request. The request itself can be in the UI or the master script.
