Double glazed glass block visibility error - triple visibility

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone,

I used the double lookup concept to create a triple visibility in block below.

There is and error that I cannot figure it out.

Please see the picture. The block behaves correctly in test environment in block editor but when you close the block you can see an extra line added to G2 visibility.

It annoyed me so much. spend few hours and even made totally new block with the same concept but just with line and circle. That one works and it is in the dwg attached.

Please have a look and find what is going wrong. If you fix it please tell me how.

The block has not finished yet. I have to add the spacer.

Actually, I recreated the block and it was working, but as soon as I added the spacer and extra elements this error happened again. I closed the file without saving anyways.

I appreciate your help very much.

When the block is fixed, I add the spacer and finalize it and will add it to topic " Glass Dynamic Block Topic" for everyone to use.

Cheers,

hi!

I'm not sure but I think that main problem is that You have Base point parameter that isn't in zero point.

I think You don't need Base point parameter at all.

Ojuris is correct.  Never place a basepoint parameter anywhere other than the origin unless you have a darn good reason.  Within block editor, all position values are taken relative to the origin.  Once inserted, all position values are taken ralative to the base point parameter.  If the basepoint is at a location other than 0,0 then upon insertion If you are using position input parameters, their values change from what they were in block editor to what they are relative to the base point position.  Your basepoint Y value is 6.137 so when you insert the block the input ppoint parameters that are at 0,0 in block editor have a 0,-6.137 value/position.

Thanks Ojuris,

The block works now. Appreciate. I didn't think of that.

However, base point not being at 0,0 is not the issue.

Attached is the block i mentioned at first post. It is similar, same concept and has a base point out of 0,0. This one works but glass block didn't until you moved to 0,0.

Well as far as a block works I am satisfied but when I don't know the answer It bugs me 😞

Thanks again,

The 'similar' block does not work upon insertion until all three lookups have been selected.  At that point, the position values are set relative the base point position.  If you want to see what is actually occurring with them, turn on their grips and insert a new occurrence.
