Hi... i know i am asking alot... but i have searched the forum... but still nothing about custom components, yes i can create custom door panels, but not tabs, knobs.. or any other types, i create them, save as custom components with the right type, but don't know where to find them i9n the object!! i mean for door panels, there is something called "custom" so i just click on it and pick the name, but not for knobs, or door handles!! the only available are types 1- 2-3-...etc.., there is nothing like custom?

please help

You need to be more specific about which parts you are using and what you are trying to do. You list your location as "near" this doesn't help us understand what library you might be using, etc. To get help you have to give us the information we need to make it easier to figure out and respond to your problem.

In general where library parts give a "custom" component option it requires that you make or find a part that you want to use and then type that name into the parameter. It is impossible to be more specific without knowing precisely what you are trying to do.

ok!!

i hope i can make it a litle bit detaild...

i am trying to create a new handle for a door , so i model it .. i save as a custom component "Custom DW Hardw Component"...

but after that? i don't know where to use it!! when i open doors settings i only have the old list with nothing like " custom" option..that i get for door panels..

i mean when i read help files a bout that.. it looked that its the same method for all of these stuff " door panels , window panels ,Custom DW Hardw Component , Custom Object Component , Custom 2D Symbol Component ". but its not!!

at least not for me

for door panels it was easy and actually great.. because i just pick " custom door panel" at the door settings and thats it!!

but for door handels or any other part . like sinks? its not the same way.. i think i have to work with GDL this time? please tell me its not!! or at least its easy!!

Door D1 10 ,?

i hope that i made my problem clear enough to get help from these greate gentelmen at this forum!!

and the thing that i am missing here? i guess its where to put the custom component name !!?? i mean the parameter, i tried to figuer that in GDL i found a large list with numbers

Draw door frame and leaf
! =============================================================================

!************** Handle Types

IF gs_handle_typ = stHandleType[1] THEN gs_handle_typ_m = 0 ! Off
IF gs_handle_typ = stHandleType[2] THEN gs_handle_typ_m = 1 ! Style 1
