Options

If you do not need to fine tune all the details of the window object and would like to see a simpler parameter list, it is possible to reduce the number of available parameters. Switching the option Parametric Level to Low causes a total of 14 marginal parameters to be hidden in the list. Of course, the substantial ones remain visible.

Fully Editable enables hotspot editing. If turned on, you can change the window sash opening angle graphically as described in the section Visual Editing. If switched off, a plain black hotspot will appear on the handle instead of the editable red star-shaped hotspot. After clicking on this hotspot the pet palette springing up won’t contain the Stretch button.

Archicad’s GDL objects can recognize the plan’s scale. Many of them, like this window, change its shape depending on the scale. The higher the scale is, the simpler is the presentation. This has a trivial technical reason, too many lines close to each other cannot be printed or displayed clearly. If you need this distinction, set 2D Detail Level to Scale Sensitive. You can also designate a high or low detail level by choosing the option Detailed or Simple. When detail is turned Off, nothing will be displayed

Detailed	Middle
Simple	Off
