joestewart4669 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Hi all, Does anyone know of a way to add all selected dimensions to calculate their total length? Ive been looking at Marionette as a possible option but no dice so far! Many thanks Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted November 9, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 9, 2021 Hello @joestewart4669, Maybe the attached VW2021 script will get the job done for you? What it does is that it sums up the lengths of all selected dimensions and outputs it as both an alert dialog and a message (for easy copy of the value if needed). Have not tested if this works with unit marks, but it works when the document is set to mm without unit mark.

Best Regards Joe - Not really sure if we have some scripting classes in the VW university, but getting to know a bit of it might be your wildcard in such situations. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment
