Coordinate dimensions 23 object don't have schedule options?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi, I need to get site coordinate points into a schedule list. In older verisons of ArchiCAD I have used coordinates dimensions object and have then made a schedule where I could get X and Y coordinates to text list, but now I can't find a way to use this object for the purpose. It seems like the library part parameters are missing for X and Y coordinate value? and the object is useless?

Or is there a new workaround to get building boundary coordinates into text list?

Take a look the atteched file. That is what I need for end results. Theres no way I would like to manually write these out, there might be 100s of points.

I think it's commonly needed feature, so if you know how to get to that result then please let me know.

Try setting the reference type to 'Custom Reference Point'.
Now you will have parameters that you can schedule.

Just don't turn on the 'Set Custom Origin' option and it will still use the Project Origin as a 0,0,0.
