Michael_Gia 91 Posted October 17, 2020 I know this has been discussed before, but is there an easy way to make a table or schedule populated by the labels of a selection of polyslines? All I want are the polyline labels in list form, preferably with the various values separated. ex. name, area, length, width. For some reason I thought there was a schedule for polylines labels, I guess I was dreaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chopsaw 682 Posted October 18, 2020 Were you thinking area analysis or something else altogether ? Can you provide an example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use polylines to keep track of lots in a development. Each polyline represents a lot with a lot number, square footage, length and width in the label, which is easy enough. There could be a few hundred lots in a development, so I would like it if Chief could automatically produce a table or schedule of these values so I could export them to Excel.

Chopsaw 682 Posted October 18, 2020 The area and label are not a big issue but length and width bring in another level of complexity. Are all the lots consistently rectangular with 90 deg corners ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chopsaw 682 Posted October 18, 2020 It could be done with a note schedule and manual entries into custom fields or for a fee I think I could make it a little more user friendly and automated with my ruby skills if you are interested, providing the lots are true rectangles and drawn in 2D.

Alaskan_Son 2612 Posted October 18, 2020 Looks like you might have it under control, but a few hints and pieces of quick advice on the house for you guys: Use boxes and you have a height and width attribute to work with (no impossible scripting to deal with). Use a 3D object like a soffit and you not only get a height and width but you get a schedule without needing to use notes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chopsaw 682 Posted October 18, 2020 Thanks Michael, The soffit and chief schedule almost works and I had not thought of it. We were hoping to get an area total without having to use Excel. Is there a way to do that without a whole lot of ruby ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael_Gia 91 Posted October 18, 2020 Never thought of using soffits. How clever. Exporting to excel is no big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
