Object schedule?

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 14:44:44 GMT

Hello, how can I make a schedule to find the data and the quantities about a truss like this one? (pict)
basically, the profile and the length of the objects.
Thank you.

Is this an actual GDL object - as in a single object? If so, the only way for sure to schedule the quantities is to edit the object and create a Property Script. Depending on how it is built, you might be able to use the Components 'script' (list). In either case, the output will not be in the Element Schedule, but as a List Scheme.

If the truss is made up of individual elements, then it is another story...

Cheers,
Karl

Karl, thank you for answering.
Yes, they are all single objects from AC (roof constructions objects)
I have no knowledge about scripting. I was wondering if it could be similar to doors and windows. 🙂

You're welcome. If this is a parametric truss object and those values have corresponding parameters, then it is as easy as doors and windows. If not - if the sizes have to be computed based on overall dimensions and angles - then a script has to generate the values for you since the schedule cannot do any computations.
