Truss Worksheet to Report 2D Symbol Name Only?

[Chris J Clarke]

Hi Everyone,

 

Does anyone know how to get a Worksheet to list the Truss with only the 2D symbol nmae, rather than out _3D at the end of the name in the list? It's only the bits of truss that I have in a vertical position. Whichmakes sense I suppose. Is there a way to insert it so It doesn't append the name in the worksheet with _3D?

 

I've attached a few images of my orksheet and the Criteria...

 

Hopefully someone will know the answer...

Truss objects report the Symbol Name in the Object Info Palette, so the information already exists. This means that you just need to pick Truss as your search Criteria.

 

Thereafter the columns should read =Count , ='TrussItem'.'Symbol' , ='TrussItem'.'Length'

 

That should do it. Enclosed is the file.

Thanks very much for your reply Mark. That worked. 

 

I'm not quite sure what the =..C0 does in the criteria though? Is that somehting that I need to make the Truss Count work?

 

Thanks again for your help.
