Charlot Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi everybody, I have in my plot some light devices with accessories (clamp). I can see the total weight at the and of the OIP, but how I can return this raw in a worksheet please? Many thanks! Best, Charlot Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Data gets stored in a field called WeightDouble, though it's always in grams, so you have to remember to convert the result to whatever your document units may be. Quote Link to comment
Charlot Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hello Joshua, Thanks a lot for your help! But, it doesn't work, and I don't understand why, because the worksheet returns some value with this formula, but it is the simple weight of the light device... Any idea? Thanks a lot!

JBenghiat Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 For me, the field matches the value displayed in the OIP. I'm assuming you're on 2021. Make sure your accessories have weight specified and that you are running SP3. Prior to 2021, the clamp would appear as a separate item in the report. Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I'm getting the same results as Charlot. The field matches the results without an accessory but when you add an accessory the returned result remains the same. Enclosed is a quick sample file. Total Weight.vwx Quote Link to comment
Charlot Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hi @JBenghiat and @markdd, Thanks for your time to try to help me! @JBenghiat I am running VW on the lastest SP (VW 2021, SP3.1) Accessories have weight, and in fact, the WeightDouble on the lighting device OIP is the sum of the weight: device AND accessories. So it is correct at this time. But, as @markdd mentions as well, this value doesn't return correctly to the worksheet. Maybe someone of the VW team can explain to us what's happening?

singingwithlights Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 To get an unwavering weight value returned in a worksheet for a lighting device, I poll data from 'Functions-Specialized For Lighting Device-Weight' Instead of 'Records-Lighting Device-Weight'. This doesn't account for accessory weight, but will not return a 0 value on lighting devices that have accessories attached. I believe the weight field of lighting devices works in tandem with Braceworks, but unclear why the summary doesn't calculate correctly. Quote Link to comment
