POLY2_B{2} can do it. There are parameters for fill origin and angle. You need add 8 to the frame_fill to get it to respect the local origin.

Labels saved via save as label are very inflexible. What you are trying to do requires a coded label. The box will have the length of the ID string, which can be gotten using STW. The height will come from the Height_of_style REQUEST.

A status code for 3-point arc would greatly appreciated. E.g.:
archHgt = 1' 0, 0, 15, A, 0, 15, A, B - archHgt, 5179, A/2, B, 5279, 0, B - archHgt, 5315, 0, 0, -1James M
Thanks, Barry, that got me on the right track. The quote unquote cylindrical mapping was ironically not helping.

That was it. Thanks Barry. Since then I’ve had failures due to multiple spaces after the WALLHOLE. Not sure where the file got the idea it should have a bunch of spaces in a seemingly blank ID.

Yes, it seems to be inconsistent. I haven’t discovered a pattern yet. I suspect the library part maker add-on, but I don’t have proof.

That adjustment doesn’t seem to correct for when the label is at an angle, see image.

I could use SUBGROUP and just set the MATERIAL of the operator beforehand, too.
The issue is that there are multiple target shapes of different surfaces which I want to maintain.

It seems that the RAILINGPANEL_GEOMETRY polygon goes to the top of the segment (assuming the offset is zero). This makes the panel coincide with the top of the top rail. Is there a global or parameter that represents the top rail thickness, so I can lower the panel top automatically?
James M
Thanks Peter, with the right globals it wasn’t too hard. Since wires don’t curve I thankfully can stay out of that area for now.

This:
railNodeQ = VARDIM1 (RAIL_POLYLINE_GEOMETRY) PRINT 'railNodeQ=', railNodeQ panelLen = RAIL_POLYLINE_GEOMETRY[2][1] - RAIL_POLYLINE_GEOMETRY[1][1] PRINT 'panelLen=', panelLen…gives this report for a placed railing with a zig zag geometry, where I count 5 nodes in the polyline:
railNodeQ= 2 () panelLen= 0 () railNodeQ= 2 () panelLen= 0 ()Attachments:
