[set wall break mode of plug-in object]

yes,

it is in the vectorscript Appendix,

I discovered getobjectvariableint is gives the default break mode of the plugin, not the instance break mode.

setobjectvariableint doesn't change anything (not the default value or the instance value)

could it be it is only available for SDK plugins?

[set wall break mode of plug-in object]

I can't set the wall break mode from inside the script of a PIO that is inserted in a wall.

SetObjectVariableInt(pioHandle,124,4) is not working

altough getobjectvariableInt(pioHandle,124) gives me the right value

is this a bug?

[parameter OIP layout corrupt after adding new parameters]

Hi,

has anyone noticed that sometimes when you add parameters to an existing PIO that old instances of the PIO have a 'corrupt' layout in the OIP. (newly pasted instances have the correct layout)

The problem is mostly not situated around the position of the new parameter but elsewhere (old parameters 'disappear')

I noticed this before and I always tried to avoid making new parameters to an existing PIO but on this project I need to.

We have 12 vectorwork users all of them using this PIO, giving it a new name would mess up our workflow.

the PIO is event enabled and has custom buttons.

recompiling the script doesn't help

in attachment you'll find a picture of the OIP of an old and a new instance of the PIO after adding a new parameter (dropdown).

[auto hybrid object looking up]

in the auto hybrid menu you can choose to 'show as reflected ceiling plan' and for the part below the cutplane you can choose 'dashed hidden line' but you can't choose this option for the part above the cutting plane.

We as constuction engineers always make 'look up' drawings. Can you please add this function?

I'm sorry, I want to change colors in part of a string and tought this post was about SetTextStyleRef...

[Changing text style in the same text object with VectorScript]

if you have the name of a text style then how do you get the text Style ID?

Or even better, how can you make a new textstyle in vectorscript?

[partially color a string]

FUNCTION SetTextStyleRefN

( objectId :HANDLE;

start :INTEGER;

count :INTEGER;

textStyleRef :LONGINT

) :BOOLEAN ;

could do it, but how can I get the 'textStyleRef' if I don't have an object with that textstyle.

Is it possible to create a new textstyle and set its attributes, and get the ID of the textstyle?

[partially color a string]

is it possible to partially color a string, like it is possible to partially make it bold (with SetTextStyle).

You can make the object in vectorworks, but an export and re-import to vectorscript doesn't work...

[CreateControl / InsertImagePopupObjectItem: problem in VW2015]

a script running in VW2014 doesn't work in VW2015.

I am unable to create an image-pulldown menu based on symbols while in VW2014 the same script works fine.

using:

CreateControl(ID, 102, 10, '', 0);

in the definition of the dialog

and:

popupindex := InsertImagePopupObjectItem(dialogID, 102, symbolName);

SetImagePopupSelectedItem(dialogID, 102,popupindex);

in the drive dialog section

anyone experienced problems with these commands in VW2015 SP3?

[Script to change objects in groups to Layer Plane]

works fine here

(after I changed the name of the plugin, it had some strange characters in it).

Win7 VW2015architecture

[Ability to nominate objects to auto-clip slabs/walls/roofs]

very nice feature (priority of material in archicad).

For a starter, the 'Wall hole component' should work with other objects than walls. You should be able to insert objects in slabs, colums, roofs,... like you can in walls. As a structural engeneering office we often had to insert for example a wide-flange beam in a slab or column.

We use a label that we snap into a wall and reads all information (material, width, area, volume, openings... It would be nice if we could do the same with slabs and columns...

[Screen Plane Layer Plane Switching]

I have the same problem in VW2015 with my PIO's who use this line of code. All PIO worked fine in VW2014 (SetObjectVariableBoolean(H, 1160, FALSE)

one PIO was a label that we put in walls, when layerlevel is not 0, PIO crashes on this line of code (that sets the PIO itself to the layerplane)

another PIO use an "extrudeAlongPath" I used to set the profile of the extrusion to the layerplane. In VW2015 it crashes (sometimes,...)

SetObjectVariableBoolean (polyh, 1160, False);

extrudeh:=ExtrudeAlongPath(ash,polyh);

its seems a bug to me...

[script inserting PIO in wall]

I'm trying to write a script that inserts PIO in a wall. (the PIO is a kind of label, that I now add manualy)

I tried 3 different approaches, none of them works...:

* AddSymToWall/AddSymToWallEdge, doesn't seem to work

* labelh:=CreateCustomObjectN(labelnaam,pX,pY,0,False);

ok:=SetParent(labelh,h);

or

* labelh:=CreateCustomObjectN(labelnaam,pX,pY,0,False);

labelh:=CreateDuplicateObject(labelh,h);

Is it possible?

[DWG Export Viewport - Convert to 2D in Model Space]

hi Diamond,

you can export the sheetlayer to modelspace but it will not export custom classproperties overides of the viewport. Use the "export viewport as 2d-graphic" are something (I work with the dutch version)

I also have problems with the dwg export and made the following post:
