List of elements?

  • Hi. I would like to forward a question and my temporary answer to that question:


    Question:
    Jesper asked me to ask You- in Dietrich's program it can be done lists of elements(roof, dormers, and walls) height, width and length?


    Answer:
    The quick answer is: I don't think so. Perhaps for walls it is possible - but not for roof elements, dormers, balconies, since they are made as whole roofs / balcony areas, that are manually split into elements.


    When I - maybe on the next project - are going to use the elementation modules in the program - then maybe this would be possible. But first I have to find out how to use these elementation modules, and I didn't have time for that for now. And I also didn't want to do it on Havsdalsgrenda, because it wouldn't be a benefit here.


    Am I correct with my answer - and what is possible?

  • Hi Thorvald,


    this option does not have anything to do with "Elementation". It is called "dimension takeoff" and it is available in every basic version of Dietrich's. For a description how to use the "dimension takeoff" please see the "advanced CAD design" Tutorial, page 39


    Best regards,


    Jens

  • OK, but the program cannot possibly know how I split the roof into elements... (?) - Maybe if I made one roof surface for each element, but that is time consuming - I did that once, but now no more.
