Hi,
I was trying to contact with the author of the Ceiling Editor object (the one from BIM Components) no luck for now...but...I have done a little improvement (a dirty way for now) so to be able to schedule the ceiling area which might / and was crucial in my practice.
So:
If anyone wishes to add this to the object pleas add a parameter: "Ceiling_area" and place it after "gs_list_custom_5" (so to be shown in the proper section and just shown).
next place the below code just above
goto "MasterEnd"
in the master script:
!area calculation for listing
! area calculation
polyArea = 0
for q = 1 to nc - 1
idx = 2 * q - 1
x1 = field_poly[1][idx]
y1 = field_poly[1][idx + 1]
x2 = field_poly[1][idx + 2]
y2 = field_poly[1][idx + 3]
polyArea = polyArea + (x2 + x1) * (y2 - y1)
next q
polyArea = abs (polyArea) / 2
holeArea = 0
for wo = 1 to nHoles
for q = 1 to n_hpoly[wo] - 1
idx = 2 * q - 1
x1 = hole_poly[wo][idx]
y1 = hole_poly[wo][idx + 1]
x2 = hole_poly[wo][idx + 2]
y2 = hole_poly[wo][idx + 3]
holeArea = holeArea + (x2 + x1) * (y2 - y1)
next q
next wo
holeArea = abs (holeArea) / 2
polyArea = polyArea - holeArea
Ceiling_area=polyArea
Parameters Ceiling_area=Ceiling_area
The calculation is copied from the 2d script - and does not interfere with the calculation done there.
BTW if by any chance the "bMovedIntNodes" sets to ON when editing the part then set it back to off ( allows the initial state of rectangular ceiling and allowing to add the side nodes)
Edit:
One more change: If You wish the gridlines were snpable:
search the 2d script for:
line2 sectp[1], sectp[2], sectp[w + 1][1], sectp[w + 1][2]
and add a line below:
hotline2 sectp[1], sectp[2], sectp[w + 1][1], sectp[w + 1][2]
It is basically the same code as above but adding a hotline in the same place the gridline is. I did not add the IDs for the hotlines so anchoring dimensions to them may be risky (no time to analyze the whole code).
Have fun,
Best regards,
Piotr
