icewedge Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Problem: See the attached images. I have 3 loops with couplings. I want to know the length of each loop (including the coupling) and need to create a table as shown below. I have spent hours trying (unsuccessfully) to create a worksheet in my drawing. I can get the worksheet to show up but I can't get anything to sum right and I am really frustrated. I looked at other posts on this website but haven't found any good examples yet. I feel like what I am trying to do is very simple and I just need help finding a video or a more detailed post. If anyone can help me I would be so grateful. :( Thanks. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Assuming those shapes are polylines ( or polygons ) you just need to call the perimeter. = PERIM Loop Length.vwx Quote Link to comment
icewedge Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 @michaelk Hello! Thank you for your reply. I tried opening this and it won't open. I can only access vwx files. They are lines and rectangles. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 What version of VW are you using? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 That would explain it :-). Loop Length v2020.vwx 1 Quote Link to comment
icewedge Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 @michaelk This version worked! Thank you so much. I am 95% there but I have another question. How did you get the polylines to be named Loop 1, Loop 2, and Loop 3? Below is a picture of my current progress. So I have each loop length but I want to label them 1 to 8 from left to right. How would I go about this? Thank you so much again! Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I did it the lazy way. I just named them in the bottom of the OIP for each loop and called the object name =NAME. If I was doing it for real, I'd probably attach a record format so that I could edit the name in the worksheet. Object names are read only and are not editable in worksheets. Quote Link to comment
