Opening Line Macro

1. General Description

Opening Line macro can be used for drawing a window opening line in 3D and in 2D (e.g. for a sky light object).

2. Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Remarks
A	Length	1	X Dimension
B	Length	1	Y Dimension
standardType	Integer	1	Standard [1-2] 1 Opening representation with EU standard 2 Opening representation with USA standard
thk	Length	0.05	Distance Between Lines in 3D (e.g. glass thickness)
openingType	Integer	1	Opening Type [0-4]
lineType	LineType	1	2D Line Type
lineType1	Integer	1	3D Line Type 1 [0-2] 0 No line in 3D 1 Continous line 2 Dashed line
lineType2	Integer	1	3D Line Type 2 [0-2]. See the lineType1 for more details.

Opening types

The following opening types are implemented in this macro:

0 - Fixed Sash	1 - Side hung	2 - Top hung	3 - Side and Top hung	4 - Pivot

3. Usage

2D Script

In the 2D Script the window object has to contain the following code lines.

call "OpeningLine" parameters A = A, B = B * cos(ac_roofang), standardType = 2, ! USA standard openingType = 2, ! Top hung skylight lineType = gs_line_type

3D Script

In the 3D script the window object has to contain the following code portion.

gs_frame_width = 0.04 add -A/2 + gs_frame_width, gs_frame_width, 0 call "OpeningLine" parameters A = A - 2 * gs_frame_width, B = B - 2 * gs_frame_width, standardType = 2, ! USA standard thk = 0.018, ! glass thickness openingType = 1, ! Side hung window lineType1 = 2, ! Dashed line type lineType2 = 2 ! Dashed line type del 1
