Are you sure you are talking about AEO Wall, not AEO Railing?

thank for your reply , i said AEC WALL , example :

a = wall ()
show a

-----------------------------------

maxscript listenner :

$Wall:Wall002 @ [0.000000,0.000000,0.000000]
.Generate_Mapping_Coords : integer
.Justification : integer
.height : float
.width : float
.realWorldMapSize : boolean
false

-----------------------------------

but i can not use a.height = 1000 ? is it a 3dsmax bug ?

well... that's bad. bad for you ...

The Wall Object is not a friend of the MXS tools developer. Perhaps you can set and change all UI settings using the Windows API, but I think it's not worth it.

Just find any better built-in solution. At least that's what I would do.

The UI doesn't expose any, they're just creation time parameters (and setting them works as such so next time you create the wall through UI, the height will use the value). While it might be possible to startObjectCreation and simulate mouseclicks, I don't think that's worth it, better use spline with Extrude and Shell w/ Straighten Corners checked, for example.

thank you , ACE WALL is very powerful , it can auto boolean when you use DOORS  and WINDOWS , very good for interactive design , i think this is 3dsmax bug , and they will repair it 

sorry if my enlish is bad , best regard from Viet Nam

That's a good point. Though technically not a bug but a rather unfortunate design, you can try both filing a bug report and suggesting that as a new feature (see the links in my signature).
