Window label

[Bob-Roraback]

Can a window label be made to show the rough opening? Maybe with a macro?

[Alaskan_Son]

Absolutely possible.  I sent you a PM, but the short answer is that you would need to use one or more custom text macros that were formatted to your liking.  The best solution would depend on a number of factors but in essence, you would take the attributes available for a window (height, width, and rough opening settings in this case), add write a bit of code that would add those values together as necessary and then display those values in the desired format.

If you use a Window Schedule it's all there.  Then if you use the Schedule Callout as the Window Labels ..........

Thank you Eric, Joe and Michael. I have made the macro but I need help changing it to read only inches please.

This is what I wrote, I did the same for the width.   Thank you for any help, Bob

number = height + rough_opening_top + rough_opening_bottom

 

divisor = 1/16.to_f

 

a = ((number/divisor).round*divisor).divmod(12)

 

feet = a[0]

 

inches = a[1].floor

 

if a[1].modulo(1) == 0

fraction = ""

 

else

fraction = " #{a[1].modulo(1).rationalize}"

end

 

"#{feet}'-#{inches}#{fraction}\"".reverse.chomp("-'0").chomp(" 0").reverse.chomp("-0\"")

Worked perfectly Eric, I thank you very much!! Bob
