Sky Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Is there no ID Label Tool anymore? I can't find it in the menu and there is no reference to it in the VW2019 Help documentation. Quote Link to comment

I can't find it in the menu and there is no reference to it in the VW2019 Help documentation. Hello @Sky, The ID Label Tool has been moved as legacy tool from VW2019. The new Data Tag tool has taken its place in the Dims/Notes tool set. You could anyway still use the ID Label, if you add it to your workspace from Tools->Workspaces->Edit Current Workspace...

Sky Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Thank you. I thought I was going crazy. It spent 20 minutes trying to look for it. I’ll see if I can familiarize myself with Data Tag and see how I can make it work for me. 1 Quote Link to comment

Sky Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) I just need the database header text to get this information in a worksheet. To get the Mark text, I put in =MARK. But when I put in =DESCRIPTION, I do not get the Description text. Edited February 14, 2019 by Sky Quote Link to comment

Nuno Antunes Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I everybody in this discussion. I wonder If you can help on this question: - It is possible to have Data Tag refering to the different materials applied in a Symbol? Something similar to the attached drawing. Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment

Hello Sky, You could create the preformatted worksheet report "Wall Style Report" from Tools->Reports->Create Report... and see how this information is extracted there.

Sky Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 @Nikolay Zhelyazkov I used the wall style report, but it had this: =IF(GETIFCPROPERTY('IfcWallStandardCase.Description')<>'', GETIFCPROPERTY('IfcWallStandardCase.Description'), GETIFCPROPERTY('IfcCurtainWall.Description')) which generated a description that was different than the on in that box. I actually have no idea where that description is coming from. Anyway, I finally figured it out. It is =WALLSTYLENAME. I can't believe how difficult this was! Quote Link to comment
