It looks to me as though you won’t get this information from the objects – not the standard GS doors anyway.
The single doors always one leaf and the doubles always have 2.
As it is not a parameter you can set in the object you won’t be able to get that information out from the object.Barry.

https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~lazwww/cookbook/CB_download/cookbook3download.html
It is a bit old now but still relevant.
There is also “Introduction to Object Making with ArchiCAD: GDL for Beginners” by the same author (again a little old but still good).
https://support.graphisoftus.com/files/GSNA/Books/Object_Making.pdf
Both of these are free resources.
There is also a GDL Handbook from CADimage by Andrew Watson if that is still available – but that will cost you if it is.

There is of course also the GDL Centre where you are now for this forum – follow the links at the top of this page.

so you could have …“This is ‘my’ string”
or
‘This is “my” string’
Depending on which symbol you want to see in your final string.

I didn’t notice the length of the ID (yes it is too long) but I think it is the last part that is the object ID.
Isn’t the first part the subtype?I always get my IDs from the MIGRATION list.
Press the ‘NEW’ button and then ‘Browse for Migrated Object’ to get the ID.
I also browse for the new object ID there but be sure to delete it after you copy and paste it.
Leave the old object IDs that you want to migrate in that list.Barry.

Dell Precision M6800 - i7 4700MQ @ 2.40GHz, 16GB RAM, AMD FirePro M6100 (2GB), Windows 7 64bitI see, if you open a stair you get all the scripts for the various parts.
But the 2D/3D previews for them don’t work.
I wonder if that is because they don’t have any size parameters being passed on from the master stair.Barry.

Dell Precision M6800 - i7 4700MQ @ 2.40GHz, 16GB RAM, AMD FirePro M6100 (2GB), Windows 7 64bitHey Ben,
I just saved a slab as a ‘stair tread component’ and can see the 3D preview with no problems.
As I amend the script the preview changes.
There was no 2D preview as it didn’t generate a 2D script.
Do you have the correct subtype (“tread component”) selected?Barry.

Dell Precision M6800 - i7 4700MQ @ 2.40GHz, 16GB RAM, AMD FirePro M6100 (2GB), Windows 7 64bitAs far as I can see that should work – that is basically the script I use.
But as mentioned in Archicad-talk …However make sure you have the old GUID in the ‘Migration’ list – that is a different button to the ‘Forward Migration’ script. Do not have the new GUID in that list.
Also make sure you do not have the old object in you loaded libraries. If you do the swap will not happen.

Dell Precision M6800 - i7 4700MQ @ 2.40GHz, 16GB RAM, AMD FirePro M6100 (2GB), Windows 7 64bitAre you sure?
I dimension to standard hotspots (3d hotspots in sections and elevations) in my objects all the time.
Have never had any problems with them being associative.However you do need to (or I think it is best to) have unique IDs (that don’t change – i.e. don’t use UNID = UNID+1 between hotspots) for each hotspot.
If you don’t have IDs you can still associate dimensions (I think) but they associate to the auto ID so dimensions can disappear or associate to another point if a hotspot isn’t used in a script (i.e. inside an IF / THEN routine) – thus changing the auto-ID numbering.
This is why it is best to hard code the ID for each hotpot.
This however becomes a problem when you CALL macros or use GOSUBS that also have hotspots as you need to increase their ID numbers to keep them unique.Barry.

Dell Precision M6800 - i7 4700MQ @ 2.40GHz, 16GB RAM, AMD FirePro M6100 (2GB), Windows 7 64bitIt seems it only blocks the transfer when you transfer to a new object in the object settings (it is the new object that must have the unique parameter exclusion set so as not to accept that parameter).
It has no effect when transferring between existing objects.
I am not sure this was always the case but I may be mistaken as I rarely use it.Barry.

With TUBE you can and for the curve I have used REVOLVE where you can also control the start and end contours and surfaces with the mask values.Barry.
