Dieter @ DWorks Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 this command works only with walls withouth peaks, when the wall is modified with ex. fit walls to roof, the you get a peak and the volume vw gives is the half of the triangle piece on top of the wall!!! does someone encountered this problem to?

Petri Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Are you sure? If true, this is a major disaster... (Goes to do testing.) Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Very brief testing, but I get exactly the same volume from a wall with peaks and the mesh from "convert to a mesh". Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 But this problem must be know? no? or is there a solution to it??? Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I can't replicate the problem. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 I tried to draw a wall with a peak (2x2 and a peak 2x0.5). then I draw an extrude like the wall (same shape). The extrude gives the correct volume, the wall not!!! Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 I just tried the calculation in a spreadsheet and if found that when you calculate the volume with volume, the answer is the same incorrect one like with CalcVolume() from vectorscript. If i then do wallthickness*surface, i get the correct answer!!! Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 If i then do wallthickness*surface, i get the correct answer!!! No, you don't. The volume is not that. You have to get the net area of one side only; ObjectVariableReal something, instead of the entire surface (= both sides + edges). Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 I just did that, that's what i meant with surface (one side) sorry for the confusion. but i did it in the spreadsheet of vw. Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Well, perhaps you are doing something funny because I get the same & correct volumes by whichever means. Incidentally, I just recently updated my generic area & volume calculation commands and objects and while doing that, tested the VS functions extensively. I still can't reproduce any of your findings. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 wich version do you use? maybe the problem is solved in vw 12.5. I am using vw 12 now. Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I'm on 12.5 - but it is very unlikely that this would have been broken. I am sure that the VS call uses the same "core program" routines as Object Info and worksheet. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 And what must you use for getting the net area with objectvariablereal??? Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Check from VectorSript Appendix, I don't memorize these things. netArea := GetObjectVariableReal(varNo); Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) I tried all the numbers to 10000, and none of the ones that gave something match the net area!!! So this is not the way to find it??? And there's something very wrong with calcvolume for walls!!! it only is correct when the wall has no peaks!!! and i'm making a command to calculate everything in my drawing and give it like i want it. the reason why i want to make it in vs is because the spreadsheet is not that flexibe. i just want the results and not a line for each wall!!!

Petri Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Look from the VS Reference (Additional Resource / Appendix). In my testing there was nothing wrong in calculations regarding walls with peaks - but then again, even I may be wrong. Besides, you don't need a line for each wall in the spreadsheet if you use "sum" function. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 There is nothing in the reference that says what to use for retrieving the net area of a wall!! I looked different times at it! I can't find it, so if it is there, can you show me where? Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Goodness me... Appendix G: Object Selectors. Walls. Wall Left Gross Area: 608 Wall Right Gross Area: 609 Wall Gross Area: 610 Wall Left Net Area: 611 Wall Right Net Area: 612 Wall Net Area: 613 Is it really this hard for you? Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 k, thx for that. But that info is not in the appendix!!! althought not in the one of vw 12!!! so i could not find it!!! I tried all the numbers and i found that you're not completely correct: 608: wall net area 609: wall left net area 610: wall right net area 611: wall gross area 612: wall left gross area 613: wall right gross area Thx much!!!

Petri Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) But that info is not in the appendix!!! althought not in the one of vw 12!!! so i could not find it!!! How do you think I found it? The fact that you could not find it does not mean that it is not in the appendix. I tried all the numbers and i found that you're not completely correct: Oh dear me! I most humbly and sincerely beg your pardon for missing your mouth when spoon-feeding you. EDIT/PS: Is there any truth in this: "Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae"? Edited January 23, 2007 by Petri Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 Can I mail the appendix to you so that you can see that its not there on this version??? because it is really not there! Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 It's been in every version I have had. Maybe you should reinstall VW if some Help files have gone missing. Quote Link to comment
