Can someone please help a newbie out. I have installed AC 10 and am practice/playing with the app. I noticed that in my project navigator under lists I have Components and under there I have various lists, including lumber pack.
When I try and open lumber pack I get a message "Listing is empty. There are items (or zones) to create a list with, but they contain no data to display."
Can someone please tell me what additional steps I need to perform, or what I am doing wrong?

On another note, as I am still trying to learn how to make this work for me. Does anyone have any property scripts they would like to share? So that I may study them to get a basic idea of how I will need to write mine. (ex: how the heck would I go about calculating how many rafters/joists/etc I will need for ceilings and roofs?? (slab, mesh, & roof), and how to determine the lengths of studs based on wall height)
And since this site does not allow such a posted file, just a pdf of the script(s) and/or screenshots would work great.You can post anything here - just put it in a zip file.
Does the "Object Making with ArchiCAD: GDL for Beginners" book cover any of this? (or is it worth buying, i'm a GDL n00b so I need SOME supplementIt is free; the PDF resides on your installation CD for AC 9 and (as far as I know) AC 10. As I recall, it does not address property scripts, but I see in another thread that you are getting Duane and Rick's information... and you've seen that there is a new Calculate book that has been released.)
