drelARCH Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Hello, Is there any chance to report in worksheet database length of structural member. Simple column type member or straight horizontal member.... There is for structural m. property: 'lenght'... when added to worksheet it changes to: ='StructuralMember'.'CenterPointLength'...but doesnt report lenght value. I know we dont have lenght field in OIP for structural member ... but one would expect that such a basic property of member can be easily available and reportable. Or am I am missing something obvious? would welcome if there is at least some math calculation alternative to be able report lenght value in worksheet or data tag as well. Since introduction of material resource we abandoned framing member but we feel that this tool is not really fully developed... Thanks for any suggestions. 1 Quote Link to comment
Gualterino Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 To report the length of your Structural member in your worksheet use "functions" then "length". That should give you what you need. 3 Quote Link to comment

rDesign Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) Based on the previous reply to use Object Function, I just figured out how to create a Data Tag which shows the length of a structural member. I'll post a working Data Tag for anyones use. data tag structural member v2022.vwx Edited August 12, 2022 by rDesign answered my own question 2 Quote Link to comment
