Or their vector formats

Hi Péter,

So is their a way to get them ??

@Samantha Mar Braga

Beside what was said be Joachim, check for these:
1. If you have hidden errors in your GDL scripts (plural), ArchiCAD can be a bit forgiven with GDL errors, but that comes with a cost or reduced efficiency.

2. See if you have created groups and forgot to kill them.

[Nader Belal]

Thank you Gergely, it worked perfectly as you have advised

@Gergely Fehér

So:
1. Would there be a problem in putting LIBRARYGLOBAL in the “Master Script“?
2. How to force the GDL to read the update the LIBRARYGLOBAL changes ? **

PS:
I have an object (not made by me) that works seamlessly with LIBRARYGLOBAL, so when a specific parameter value is changed in the template, the object changes instantly.
On the other hand, when I try to recreate the same manner in my object (to which I have linked this parameter to GUI and 3D model) it updates instantly in the GUI, but in the 3D view, it doesn’t update unless I AC object tool.

Thank you

@Péter Baksa

Are you telling me that in my case, the best solution (actually second best) available for me now, is to make a 2nd copy of the object in the 3D script, and use the same project2{what ever version} to get the cut plan view and and elevation view at the same time ???!!!!

[Nader Belal]

Ok I will try that.

[Nader Belal]

I will try make myself clear again.

I need to create a cut plan view in plan AND an elevation view on plan at the same time.

My problem is that with a CUTPLANE active in the “3D Script” will generate an elevation view on plan with it’s upper part is cut.
And if I deactivate CUTPLANE in the “3D Script” the section plan view will not show correctly.

I need both right at the same time … How ?

So I need this, either:
a) A condition that can deactivates the CUTPLANE in the “3D script” when the user asks for an elevation view on Plan.

Sorry my bad …

I needed to deactivate the CUTPLANE in the “3D Script” if the user need an elevation view on the plan, but on the same time mantaining the cut plan view of the object.

I have already solved this issue in this post https://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=294857#p294857, and I recognise that it’s not the best nor the more efficent way to do it, but I would gladly like to hear your opinion.

[Nader Belal]

Hi Frank,

Glad to hear that.

For using the LP_XMLConverter per se no there isn’t much, and what you will find is almost the same but with a different presentation. To tell you the truth, for a newbie it can be daunting but it isn’t that difficult.

For the details on how to use XML files for GDL creation, well there are a lot of bits and pieces distributed along many locations, such as this site, the GDL manual, forums, etc.

[Nader Belal]

To everyone,

First I want to thank you all for all the help, especially to my friends Carlos Lopez Figueroa from Mexico for putting me on the right track, and Shawn Hopkins.

Second, the right way (in my case) to do update/delete array parameters is using this simple code that was posted in this thread ArchiCAD-Talk: LIMITING RANGE OF PARAMETER ARRAYS (special thanks to Braza from Portugal, see attachment).

Here is the script (adapted to Graphisoft Style recommendations):

dim setval[]
for i = 1 to n

	if i > vardim1(val) then
		setval[i] = 0
	else
		setval[i]=val[i]
	endif
next i

val = setval

parameters val = val

Third the most important part, Why the hell my past code did not update my arrays !!!

Well it happens that this line script in the Parameter Script tab did give me all the trouble:

n = APPLICATION_QUERY ("PARAMETER_SCRIPT", "FIRSTOCCASION_IN_PROGRESS", _isFirstRun)

It appears to be that this past line was preventing the arrays from being updated, and to by pass any issue that may result from consecutive value deletion you have to put a time stamp, as have been explained in other threads in this forum.

I will put this finding as an issue for Graphisoft Team.

Thank you all

@Vojtěch Janda

when selecting the file path for conversion, and if you are in a Windows OS environment, just drag the file to the CMD window, it will write the full path and the file name in quotation marks (which is accepted by OS)

[Nader Belal]

Reduce the floating number length, make it as max 6 decimal spaces

Hi Frank

The LP_XMLConverter.exe help already has the options for password settings “-password xxxx” where the xxxx is going too be your password.

Advise, copy the help in a text file, cause it always will become in handy
