Script to set object Z Heights to Zero

[Pat Stanford 1,085]

The following script was requested by a user to move all Space objects, Doors and Windows in a drawing to a height of 0 (zero) relative to the layer they are on.

Procedure SetZHeight;

{Sets the Z Height of all Space Object, Doors and Windows}
{in a drawing to 0 (Zero) relative to the layer they are on}

Procedure SetSpaceZHeight(SSZHand:Handle);

Var		ZHeight: Real;
		OldName: String;
		TempName: String;
Begin
	TempName:=Date(2,1);
	OldName:=GetName(SSZHand);
	SetName(SSZHand,TempName);
	ZHeight:=ZCoordinate(N=TempName);
	Move3DObj(SSZHand,0,0,-ZHeight);
	If OldName='none' then OldName:='';
	SetName(SSZHand,OldName);
End;


Begin
ForEachObject(SetSpaceZHeight,(((PON='Space')|(PON='Door')|(PON='Window'))));
End;

Run(SetZHeight);

I do a lot of copy pasting of objects between layers and there is a bug in VW which changes the z height of objects in the process. Before this script I was spending a not insignificant amount of time going into Groups of objects and manually setting everything back to 0!

Absolute gold, thank you Pat.

Pat, I notice Pon='Window' isn't in the script. Should it be?
