0 _c_ Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I am about to start the "flip" war. I am so tired of all these unwanted text and object flips. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Hans-Olav Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hi @Kazemester Im curious What do the numbers mean, is it top and bottom of opening? Maybe its possible to make a data-tag that displays what you want. - here is one that we use that display acoustical- , fire-rating and top and bottom of rough opening. Quote Link to comment

Those are "height" and "width" data on the centerline marker (see attached picture), and height-width and sill height for windows. Standard stuff over here in Europe. 😄 edit: ...i mean on the eastern part of europe...;) (I see you are in Europe as well.) Edited January 31, 2021 by Kazemester correction Quote Link to comment
0 Hans-Olav Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 haha (-: Iceland is wild with a not much standardization I guess you could make data tags that looks like the standards Quote Link to comment

We have, Window Width, on top of our dimension line, Sill Height below the line. (Sill Height = BRH = Brüstungshöhe, because it is more important, like a railing height. Window heights will be found in Elevation and Section Dimensions) 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Kazemester Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 We have width on "top" and height on "bottom" of the line. (Both dimensions measure the opening.) Than we have a 3rd number "inside" the building which is the sill of the window. Quote Link to comment

Oh man, again another standard ... I thought at first. But I lied. We have it exactly the same as you described. Dimension top = Opening Width Dimension bottom = Opening Height Text in Plan behind opening = Sill Height Edited January 31, 2021 by zoomer 2 Quote Link to comment

Depending on object rotation you end up with height over width, which is truly fatal. Believe me, been there already. I will file now an official wish item, wanted to do it long ago. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 _c_ Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Before one asks, I tried all possible text, data tags configurations and settings. This can't be done. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Hans-Olav Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) I see. I remember I tried something similar and ended up with naming them EB (top) and NB (bottom) to have it clear. Not standard compliant but works here (-: Edited February 1, 2021 by Hans-Olav Quote Link to comment
0 _c_ Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I filed now a wish item for all of us. Those that want to support this feature should do so clicking on the green arrow up left. Thank you! 3 Quote Link to comment
0 StefanoT Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) This is how we do it. No flipping issues but unreliable "text wrapping + font size" settings to control text (width/height) position. Everything would work much better if we could only have multiline text in data tags... door tags.vwx Edited February 1, 2021 by str Quote Link to comment

That's almost what i need...almost. Thanks! 😉 Quote Link to comment
0 StefanoT Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) yep, we do get parameters from the IFC property set since we are/were transitioning from the VW localized door/window PIO to the VW US/International door/window PIO (and we needed tags working for both), but we do also have tags getting info from the PIO or with user entered width/height fields (for special door/windows or 2d drawings etc) Edited February 1, 2021 by str Quote Link to comment
0 Kazemester Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Just now, str said: yep, we do get parameters from the IFC property since we set the tags while transitioning from the VW localised door/window PIO to the VW US/International door/window PIO (and we needed a tags working for both), but we do also have tags getting info from the PIO or with user entered width/height fields (for special door/windows or 2d drawings etc) Nice. Just one more question to make my life a whole...what would be the pset name for the sill? I'm trying all permutations of #SillHeight# #Sill.Height# #Window.SillHeight#...but none of them works. Can you add more than one text field to the Data tag symbol to define more tag fields though? Thanks Quote Link to comment
0 StefanoT Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) @Kazemester I confirm you can add more than one text field: getting parameters from the VW US window/door PIO I would try either #Door#.#ThreshNose# or #Door#.#ThresholdZOffset#.

I ment "window" not door...can you share the link of the pio pset field list? I've found the "list of all pio record fields" script...but that doesn't do anything with the psets... edit: i've figured it out it is actually called "elevation", but i can't find which pset contains this data in the "ifcwindow" properties...

0 StefanoT Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I do usually select the data I need (lot of trial&error) either from the IFC entity or from the Object (PIO) parameters in the "Define Tag Field dialog box" (they're all listed there), adding the selected one to the tag definition. Not sure this is what you're looking for, for windows I would try with #Window#.#Elevation# (not sure, here in Italy the only standards represented in the centerline are width/height) Quote Link to comment

0 Kazemester Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 I'm just posting the solution, thanks to @str (which is still just a workaround, as the doors and windows settings should have this but hey...) : door_window tags.vwx Quote Link to comment
