How to get the "Length of the Reference Line" from wall?

Hi everyone. Is there a parameter for "Length of the Reference Line" in ArchiCad17?

With a label object contains only :

add2 LABEL_POSITION[2][1]+LABEL_POSITION[3][1], LABEL_POSITION[2][2]+LABEL_POSITION[3][2]

text2 0, 0, wall_length_b

It gives off correctly only when there's no curve wall attached the other ends.

If you look closely at the joint of the 2 curved Walls you can see the mitred joint that is created between them. The selection highlight shows the geometry of your Wall in question.
Also, if you selected only your Wall in question and looked at it in 3D you would see its end slashed to form the mitred joint.
Which also means that in that case that side of the Wall is now shorted and probably reported as such by that variable in GDL.

Thank you very much for your respond, laszlonagy.

You're right about the wall length being shorten and it reports correctly in the Element Info. palette as "Conditional length on the inside face = 1.0007 m" for the selected wall.

What I am looking for is that...Apart from WALL_LENGTH_A and WALL_LENGTH_B, is there another parameter (or variable, sorry for my messed up terminology) that gives off the "Length of the Reference Line" which has the same value whether there's another curve wall at the other end or not.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear the first time.
