problem getting values for a COLUM for use it in LABEL

[Anonymous]

Hi:

I am trying to obtain a value from my colum element.
And then I will use these values in a label objet.
Now my probleme is that I am looking for the right question for use the "REQUEST" command.
Probably I am in the bad way, so If someone have the time, give me a hand.

I send a picture in order to present my problem.
Thanks for your help.

There are global parameters for what you need. Look in the GDL Reference > Miscellaneous > Global Variables > Column Parameters (page 232 in my copy).

Thanks for your help.
In my archi 7.0 Manual i only can found this:

Parámetros de Columnas - disponibles sólo para listados
COLU_CORE propiedades núcleo/recubrimiento
COLU_HEIGHT altura de la columna
COLU_VENEER_WIDTH grosor del recubrimiento de la columna
COLU_MAT material de la columna
COLU_LINETYPE tipo de línea de la columna
COLU_CORE_FILL trama del núcleo de la columna
COLU_VENEER_FILL relleno del recubrimiento de la columna
COLU_SECT_PEN pluma de los contornos de la columna en sección
COLU_VIEW_PEN pluma de la columna visible
COLU_CORE_FILL_PEN pluma de la trama del núcleo de la columna
COLU_CORE_FBGD_PEN pluma del fondo de la trama del núcleo de la columna
COLU_VENEER_FILL_PEN pluma de la trama del recubrimiento de columna
COLU_VENEER_FBGD_PEN pluma del fondo de la trama del recubrimiento de columna
COLU_CORE_SURF superficie del núcleo de la columna
COLU_CORE_VOL volumen del núcleo de la columna
COLU_VENEER_SURF superficie del recubrimiento de la columna
COLU_VENEER_VOL volumen del recubrimiento de la columna

I am using a colum without VENEER dimensions.

In my example, With these parameters I get:
a) COLU_CORE_SURF
b) COLU_CORE_VOL
c) COLU_HEIGHT

......but the long and wide???
I can´t do nothing with this.

bY another hand, I saw:
COLU_CORE

this is only and idea:
Is this possible?

x=REQUEST ('COLU_CORE', 1, lon, wid)

or something similar?

Thanks again. You are very soon in your answer.

Try this:
COLU_CORE_X
COLU_CORE_Y
COLU_VENEER_WIDTH
The first two are only available from AC 8 and up. Not better with
COLU_DIM1
COLU_DIM2
COLU_CORE_X
COLU_CORE_Y

Obvisiously recognized GS that these parameters were missing and offered a whole bunch. No good news for you, I fear.

Hi from Mexico:

I try with all this:
Try this:
COLU_CORE_X
COLU_CORE_Y
COLU_VENEER_WIDTH
COLU_DIM1
COLU_DIM2

and the only one good for archicad 7.0 R3 is
COLU_CORE_X
COLU_CORE_Y

In this form:

TEXT2 0,0,"Long="
TEXT2 sep*1.2,0,COLU_CORE_Y

or this

TEXT2 0,0,"Wide="
TEXT2 sep*1.2,0,COLU_CORE_X

this two options work very good.

..........and the circular colum work fine too.

This is the commands that I was looking for,
and in the PDF Manual, there is no comments about it.

now I will return yo my work.
One day trying with all this, and with your help
everything is good now.

In January 2003 Karl Ottenstein help me with the REQUEST command.
Now F. Beister and Matthew Lohden help me too.

Thanks you.
I will keep reading ArchiCAD-Talk Forum.

Seems to be undocumented Globals in AC7. I will this correct on selfgdl, as soon as we go online with the AC11 version.
