Sam Jones Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Using VS, is there any access to a documents structural units. Can we find out what they are? Can we set them? If so, how ? How does the Lighting device interact with the structural units? Can I set values in the "Weight" field? Can I set values in the "Total Weight" field. How do those fields interact?

Chad Hamilton HAArchs Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Go to File/Document Preferences/Units/Structural - you can choose from many Imperial, metric, and structural units, as well as define custom units. I believe VS will use whatever units you set in the document a script is running in. Quote Link to comment
Urbanist Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 What are structural units? In the metric world there are only metric units, in the construction industry usually millimetres, but some countries e.g. Germany obviously centimetres are used. Quote Link to comment
Sam Jones Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 I want a command, tool, or PIO to be able to query what structural units are selected for a document, and l want to be able to set a documents structural units. Quote Link to comment
Sam Jones Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Structural units are weight units. You can now use weight units instead of text strings and it makes math in worksheets easier to set up. I'm sure it was required for Braceworks. Quote Link to comment
