026 Archicad GDL Automatic Fall Arrow Part 4 [CQ2ec3Y_qAs]

We continue the series on creating an automatic fall label that reads the pitch of the roof it’s attached to. In this session, I show you how to turn on your opaque fill, your label frame, and how to account for the label margin. This requires figuring out how wide and how high your text string is, not only for the content of the string, but the font type and font size as well – which also responds to the scale. I also cover how to define a fill type in your code without using a parameter, and a good use case for the global modified parameter variable. This is some really handy stuff that can make your objects take the extra step in being user friendly. Completed in ARCHICAD 27.
