Extend the reach of LOCK/HIDEPARAMETER by setting up the new compatibility option called “Enable hide/lock of specific fix named optional parameters”.See Parameters for Labels section for the whole feature set, and don’t forget to check out the Deprecated Label Global Variables section. Fixed Angle and Optimize Position are also became available for symbol labels (not available for GDL, automatic ARCHICAD functions).new Label Orientation for symbol labels, just like in Text/Autotext Labels ( AC_LabelOrientation), supporting nominal rotation angles.Moreso, except for a few items, most label format global variables are now turned into fix named parameters, supporting lock/hide functions. The previously available text handling label global variables are considered deprecated from now on (and only kept for compatibility reasons), and the uniform fix named optional parameters have been introduced instead. To support the unified Text handling throughout ARCHICAD, labels had to change as well. Label globals and fix named optional parameters See Deprecated Zone Stamp parameters section for more. These options are now collected on a separate default panel of the Settings Dialog in annotation tools (Section/Elevation/Interior Elevation/Story Level markers, Detail/Worksheet/Change markers, Zones, Labels, Grid element – limited set), with the possibility to lock or hide any of them via the GDL object’s parameter script, for unused functions.įor details such as compatibility and parameter values, visit the section called Parameters for Text Handling.įrom now on, ROOM_LSIZE is considered deprecated in zones: use AC_TextStyle_1 instead. character space factor ( AC_TextCharSpaceFactor_1).character width factor ( AC_TextCharWidthFactor_1).The unification of text handling options has been completed for ARCHICAD 22, so the following functions are now available for all annotation type GDL objects via fix named optional parameters: The new CWFRAME_TOP_CUTTYPE and CWFRAME_BOTTOM_CUTTYPE global variables define the recommended cutting method for the top and bottom cut of the frames, further global variables contain the necessary geometric data for the cutting polygon or plane – see Curtain Wall Frame 3D variables section. New Curtain Wall Frame cutting parametersĪRCHICAD provides cutting planes and polylines for the top and bottom cut of the curtain wall frames. The attributes of the symbolic representation of the curtain wall frames are defined by new fix named optional GDL parameters, see Curtain Wall Frame parameters read by ARCHICAD section. New Curtain Wall Frame attribute handling It determines the position for ARCHICAD on the centerline of the curtain wall panels from where their clamp depth is calculated. The new ac_frameOffsetSide fix named optional parameter affects the sizes of the curtain wall panels. A whole new set of fix named optional parameters has been introduced to support this method – see Curtain Wall Parameters set and read by ARCHICAD section. The curtain wall frame sizes can be defined in GDL and can be provided by ARCHICAD. New Curtain Wall Frame size handling method The existence of ac_beamProfileID and the new ac_capProfileID fix named optional parameters determines the calculation of the frame sizes. In profiled curtain wall frames the frame and cap bounding sizes can be handled by ARCHICAD. The ac_iCWFrameType and ac_bButtGlazedFrame fix named optional parameters determine the type of the frame. Curtain Wall Frame Type handlingĪRCHICAD provides different handling methods for curtain wall frames regarding the ARCHICAD Dialog User Interface and the symbolic representation of the frames. In order to create a schematic curtain wall panel bounded by the frame axes in GDL, new ac_frameAxisCoords fix named optional parameter has been added. To control whether the ARCHICAD creates the schematic model for curtain wall frames and panels, the new AC_AutoSchematicModel fix named optional parameter has been introduced.

We highly recommend taking a good look at the new information before creating a new GDL library part, or updating existing ones. As usual, ARCHICAD 22 comes with a lot of changes and developments concerning the GDL language.
