Sequential Numbering

[Anonymous]

Hi,

It would be great to be able to do sequential numbering. I often do furniture or parking layouts and need to add one number after the next without making a mistake. So it would be really good to be able set the numbering system to sequential numbering and then click to add "1", "2", "3", etc straight onto the drawing without having to add text boxes and typing the number in.

Or perhaps it can already be done.

Comments welcome.

Thanks,

2005? Maybe my memory is not as bad as I thought!

BTW If anyone wants the counting shapes part that Dwight mentioned, its now part of the 4D Library that I now own and develop (The 4D Library is an exclusively Australian, 3rd party ArchiCAD library).
Just PM me and I will happily forward it to you, with completely open scripts


BBTW If you want to watch a really loooong youtube video of me using one of the hundred + parts in the library, search in youtube for "4D Tiling". If can you make it to the end, there is a very interesting schedule of tiles.

Ben
I watched the Youtube video, Very Nice.
Since 4d tiling is only for Australian AC users, I guess it does not matter, but
just curious, what keeps it from working with US version?
Can you separate horizontal rows to insert deco trim?
Your best guess at what would be comparable for us market?
Thanks

I guess I should clarify

The main 4D Library is an "Australian only" thing but the Tiling is available to everyone. Nothing will keep it from working with the US version. You just need to have the Accessories add-on installed. (Free download from the goodies page)
To create horizontal or vertical deco you have two options, either model the deco trim or create a custom fill and/or texture that includes the trim, then use the editable hotspot to locate your texture origin accurately

My best guess on something comparable in the US? Hopefully nothing , since its available to ALL.

Great.
So where do I send my wallet for "Tiling", so you can take out whatever you need, and just send the rest back?
pm me with instructions:-))

You can fake it out with the Grid tool which has automatic numbering and lettering. 

You can change to numbers or letters.

Change the number or letter to start.

Keep the bubble or marker to one.

You just make the extension line short.

But then you have it.

Thanks for asking the question. I made me think about it since I needed the same thing and couldn't find it in the label tool, which it should have.
