On the other side, if you delve deeper into GDL you will find that it is capable of a lot more than Revit Families.
Small file sizes, very flexible, a lot more parameters, ability to create custom graphical user interfaces, ability to lock/hide parameters based on value of other parameters, dynamic arrays, file I/O operations, value lists, global variables, etc., etc.

GDL is pretty powerful.

I see only Sill Height option in the default Window Marker.
It is possible to do but you would have to modify the GDL Object.

It is not as simple as modifying a single line in the script.
If you don't already know what to do based on the above, it is probably too hard for you to try.
You would have to modify a macro called from the Master Script of the Window Marker. Yu would probably have to create new parameters so you can decide whether you want to display the Sill or the Head. If the choice is the Head, its value would have to be calculated.
Also, the Interface Script of the Element would have to be modified so that the custom interface also displays the Head option.
So this is several hours of work, even if you know GDL.

Thanks, it is to complicated.
But I am asking why graphisoft don't include this parameter in original part?
May can be a wish

Yes, this could be a wish.

But honestly, I have never had a job in which it was a requirement to show the Head value instead of the Sill. Maybe in other countries it is different...

Yes of course - and I don't mean to start the comparison game, that is covered plenty elsewhere! I shouldn't have even said the R word. Smile

I was mainly meaning that we/I am locked into AC for the foreseeable future, so I am very interested in finding solutions that work!

At the risk of veering off topic, I understand the potential in GDL, however, it seems to me to have such a high learning curve to be essentially unusable by the architecture community. It seems/feels like trying to use some sort of advanced robot to hang a picture frame. Sure it is extremely powerful, but all I need is to be able to pick up a hammer and drive in one nail. I don't need powerful, I need easy to use.

I personally would love to spend the time learning GDL, but my employer is not going to pay for that ability. Even if it was a financial option, most architects are not willing/enthused about learning to write code. It is challenging enough getting people to use AC or (gasp!) upgrade to a new software. At least in my limited experience. ...this is a discussion I would love to continue, but perhaps not in my window question!

...back to windows, for now, we are going to find the windows that we can best match our needs, and use 2D drafting where necessary to "fix" them. And probably live with some graphic quirks in some places. We will also be looking into the Cadimage stuff as I mentioned.

Thanks again Laszlo!

There is a way

Use the XML converter tool to convert both objects to XML. Then cut and paste the parameter sections in the xml, then convert the XML back to GDL.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone have a good explanation or tutorial for how to use the XLM converter?

Hi Erich

I use applescript to convert the files - here is an example

Code:

do shell script "Applications/Graphisoft/ArchiCAD\\ 18/LP_XMLConverter.app/Contents/MacOS/LP_XMLConverter x2l /XMLHOLDING/ /Applications/MacLibDevKits/GDLPROCESSED/"
set alertResult to display alert "XML now converted to GDL"


note: x2l is the command to convert the xml to library part. l2x will convert GDL to xml.
It will work 'as is' if you place two folders directly in your hard drive - called 'XMLHOLDING' and 'GDLPROCESSED'

Ben,

So in your example you would place your XML files in the folder called XMLHOLDING then run the script and get the processed GDL files that would then be located in the folder GDLPROCESSED. Right?

Would the script going the other way GDL==>XML look like this?

Code:
do shell script "Applications/Graphisoft/ArchiCAD\\ 18/LP_XMLConverter.app/Contents/MacOS/LP_XMLConverter l2x /GDLHOLDING/ /Applications/MacLibDevKits/XMLPROCESSED/"
set alertResult to display alert "GDL now converted to XML"

you could always create a morph in elevation and subtract it from the wall

see attached.
why do the doors and windows have "two" boxes for which to select on the side ganging options?
I mean...isn't a "side" ONE side, not a top side and bottom side?
Can someone please explain this one to me?

I think one of the above responses said "why would you do that?"
that's not the way you'd want to do that to make the software behave efficiently.
Why not just apply a material "surface" the exterior fascade that only "mimics as a picture" the design intent?
I wouldn't try to model those joints vertical and horizontal. You are just asking for model crashing and bogging down time.
it's not worth that level of detail on the facades.....really.
just use a surface material and be done with it.

Not familiar with the standard Archicad windows, but it looks like the second box is for a casing. Why not tick one and find out? See what happens.

I did tick both of them....and I can't tell any difference.
they are "both" for casings. To either eliminate or not eliminate the casings on either sides of the door so you can push them, group them together if you had to but....what I can't figure out is 'why the two boxes' for the sides ganging?

Also, what I've noticed is that the "bottom sides" of this little box can't be checked unless the top is check (activated).

So...again...I'm not sure what the TWO boxes for the side ganging are for?
if you check the top side box, then the lower box appears but you can't have the lower box by itself......very very odd.

That should do the trick.
There is more information on the commands in the converter help file. I think its only available in one of the developer downloads.

Seems to now only have 2 units mulled together as default.. can't seem to find where to change that.

(or is multiples in either direction no longer an option?)
