I know, I found them already 🙂 But thanks anyway!

Does anyone know the resource-id's for Slab Styles and Roof Styles? I know the Wall Styles id is 127...

Just put 1 and add values...

Instead of =COUNT you can also just insert 1 into B2. No “=“ just the number 1.

I see the value in A2 is summed. I suppose B2 has added values. You should also add values in D2. Otherwise you’ll get the unitary price. By the way you don’t even have to put a calculation in D2. Just the same formula as in C2 would do, just add the values. In a worksheet all rows are calculated and only after the row calculation sums and add values are calculated. This means that in B2 there will always be “1” so B2*C2 equals 1*C2 or just C2. After that calculation rows are summed and values added where this is asked. I hope this is clear.

If you need more feedback or info about this, just call Design Express support and ask for Peter.

What classing system would you like to use?

Changing the classing system in Vectorworks can be a lot of work. Classes are indicated all over the place.

Hello SDLaw The "porte intérieure" tool in the Benelux version is another tool than the one in the US version. So is the window tool. For the Benelux version classing is based on an European SfB system. I attached a pdf the table of those classes in French. --Peter Vandewalle SfB BE-FR.pdf

Have you tried to add the extension to the filename? =RunScript(120, ‘GetPluginStyle.txt’)

The click to insert the object into the drawing will be the origin (0,0) of everything you code inside the object. Just like in a symbol. You can get a handle to the PIO with GetCustomObjectInfo. Then you can get the coordinates of the insertion point with GetSymLoc3D.

MoveTo(ControlPoint01X + <X-value>,ControlPoint01Y +<Y-value>) should work. ControlPoint01X and ControlPointY01 are considered coordinates from the PIO origin. So they are just reals.

I just have this inside the plugin manager: import <name of py-file> <name of py-file>.<name of routine to run>() i.e.: The py-file contains the complete script, so you hardly ever have to enter the plugin manager...

Have you tried the “kast” object from the Benelux version?

I agree on the Python idea. And I would suggest using an xml dike instead of a txt file. XML data can be accessed by address instead of by looping.
