Travel Distance Data Tag - how to use it?

[Shortnort]

I see that VW has several data tags for life safety including travel distance.  How do you get it to work?  I have drawn both a simple line and a polyline but the data tag does not recognize them.  Must I somehow define the line as a Travel distance?  If so, I don't have a clue how to do it.  Any assistance is appreciated.

Are you using one of the Eligible Object modes of the tool? I have just tested + works on a Line, Polyline + Polygon.

What are eligible object modes?  I drew a simple line and a polyline, but the tag did not accept them.

After I closed VW and reopened, the tag worked like a CHAMP.  Thanks for you help.

Thank you.  That may have been off also.....  Thank you so much for your guidance.  I started from scratch with VW in July 2021, so I am still somewhat of a newbie.  Everyone here has been great offering advice, help, etc.

I am working on a 56,000 church, 2 stories with half basement that has many classrooms gym, offices, etc.  So I am really stretching my knowledge base. But I must admit that that without VW this project would be overwhelming in 2D Cad.
