Pvz11 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Hi all, I was hoping someone knew how to use the data tags to show a height from FFL for each story. Right now we have only managed to create data tags which select the slab tool that take heights from the height of the layer with an assigned story. Example attached... So after testing it, when a story is attached to the layer it adds the overall level to the objects height. When a story is not attached it shows the height of the slab. However the majority of our large scale modelled projects utilise stories therefore this is not adequate for us. Hopefully someone has figured this one out, it seems simple enough as I can see you are able to use formula in a data tag however getting specific heights of say a ceiling from FFL is proving to be difficult. Thank you Data Tag-Level example.vwx Quote Link to comment

TaylorK Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Is it possible to tag an object relative to a given datum? ie if you're making a RCP and want to tag a slab object on the story above and get the Z value relative to the lower storey? Seems like the Z bot only gives the value relative to the storey that object is associated with. Quote Link to comment

You can add a wishlist item for this. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov 1 Quote Link to comment
