Components panel information

[KilianDrafting]

Are there macros that can pull information from the components panel to include data in a schedule?

Depends on exactly which data you want, but the short answer is yes.  For the example above, you can use some relatively simple code like:

upper_layers[0].material_data.quantity.to_cu_yd.round(2)

 

It gets much more complicated though if your wall has multiple layers.

Thank you! I see this would also be affected by a pony wall situation.
