MEP library and associative labels

Achille Pavlidis

I want to place associative labels with the ducts dimension. When using the associative label tool, I select "Content type: Sizes" from the settings, but the label always reads 1.00x1.00x0.00, even though my duct is has different dimensions... and even if I change them, the labels remains as is...

What I'm doing wrong?

here:


but from what I understand the sizes of the ducts are inner object parameters that cannot be dispalyed by the object label...

too bad

I see the the INT version has an object label that the US version does not
Pity is does not work for the ducts.

In fact you have a completely different set of Labels from the US.
Beam Label,
Column Label
Curtain Wall D/W label
Roof Label
shell Label
slab Label
wall Label

I'm not seeing a green-with-envy emoticon

The dimensions you are using always appear as 1x1x0.

You have to dig deeper and extract the hidden parameters.

The best way to do that is by using Master Script's special Label: http://www.masterscript.nl/01/product.php?id_product=13
