Labelling Beams

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi, I'm trying to automatically label my beams show that it shows the H x W x weight dims as listed in the object parameters.

For example I want the label to show 203 x 102 x 23.
The closest I can get is the 'beam label' but thats shows H x W x L so isnt quite what I need.

It might be worth noting that I'm using an Archicad object not a Archicad beam.

I've already contacted Graphisoft and the only solution they had was to buy
'Label Everything'.

Is there not a way to do this for free?

I assume that there must be a way to display these properties as they are already listed in the objects parameters.
I just don't know how...

All advice greatly appreciated.

Tom.

I've got the Label Everything and at 30 euro I'd say it's for free. You can use it many situations. Very versatile and at cost of 4 BigMac menus . Mats
