akonishi Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Is there a way to link object information to record formats? I want to create a schedule by applying a record format to existing objects and have the record information auto-populate the record fields with the object's height, width, and depth dimensions.

michaelk Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Information like that is already "attached" to objects. No need for a record format. Look at "Insert > Functions" from the worksheet menu to see object attributes like position, height, width, area, volume, etc. that you can call without record formats. If you want to attach a record format, create it from the resource manager. Then select the object, go to the data tab in the OIP and click on attach record. hth mk Quote Link to comment

Christian Fekete Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 is IFC data also being reported this way? Quote Link to comment
Hippocode Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 It can be, but it's a bit harder to work out. Each IFC data field is split into 3 record fields, for which two describe the name and type, the third one the value. This makes it harder to find the field you want to display, as the field name might be something like "Field 1" etc.. Quote Link to comment
