Beam dimensions in drawing list

Loghomer · 17. Mai 2011

Hi,

there is a "timber/beam list" checkbox in the 1-01-6 command dialog that gives a great option to generate specs list of selected beams in the drawing.

But how to get the real dimensions of beams in that list? The only way I found is to insert dimensions as text into "beam type/ designation" box in the "object info" dialog of each element.

Therefore that information needs to update by hand if the element's dimensions have changed.

Is there any options to automate that process?

Thanks!

This list was made for a special client and so it contains just what this user needs for his case. At the moment this list cannot be changed and the process you described above can not be automated.
The wall drawings in modul wall construction contains a list which shows the dimensions.
We want to change this but I do not know when this will be available.

If you have changed something - let's say in wall design; Then you output a new drawing. But if you want on the 2D drawing only to change the timber list, you just insert a small part of the drawing that you can delete afterwards - and then insert the new timber list.

The loghomer is working with the drawing out of D-CAM. In this drawing the list does not contain the dimension of the beams because it was made specialy for one client which does not need the dimensions.
We want to have better lists on all drawings but this needs some time.
