hollister design Studio Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Couple of record format/worksheet questions: a. I there a way to include a thumbnail image in a record format or a worksheet? b. How do I add a 'Count' column to my worksheet? Starting with a. I'm working up my first Landscape Lighting sheet and converting my process from AutoCAD to VW. I like to include an image of the symbol in the lighting schedule. In Acad this is not possible, so I created a "blank" field in my symbols so when I generated my worksheets there would be a header for the column named 'SYMBOL' and I could manually place a symbol over the worksheet. I've got his record format started: It doesn't seem like any of the 'type' options will lead me to inserting a symbol - is this possible in the worksheet setup? (...am I wrong that Plant schedules allow symbol thumbnails? new to this VW world...) If there isn't an 'automatic' answer here, can I proceed with the above record format will it make for a column with the header " SYMBOL" that I can manually overlay a symbol? As for question b. if this isn't a straight forward answer, does anyone know of a good tutorial? I didn't find one in the VECTORWORKS UNIVERSITY. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The function to include the image of an object is =Image It will create an image using the class visibilities active when the worksheet is recalculated. There are a number of options about how it displays in the Format menu of the worksheet. =Count will return the number of objects that are SUMmarized in a database row. 1 Quote Link to comment
