Ginkgohouse Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Good Morning I am working on a remodel on a house with many different floor elevations. Once I had the existing entry set, the new rooms I add tend to jump to the legacy floor elevation. I was wondering if there was a macro that would fill the room based on meeting certain floor elevation criteria. I am currently using the text macro to show the floor elevation which is super but a bit distracting to have the text box in each room. Please find the attached plan and orig blueprint section. Thanks Mark Floor Elevation Label.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 There are 2 options: 1. You can add "Room Macros" to the Room Label (even in Room Defaults) but that will all be on the same line as the Room Name. 2. You can create a RTB with everything formatted (different fonts, underlining, multiple lines, etc which when placed in a room will display all the data. I use this and set the default room label to 0 height so it doesn't show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Joe, have you ever found a way to use room labels in section view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Joe, have you ever found a way to use room labels in section view? Nope. Even though I can access the data in the Ruby Console from an elevation. I still can't even connect a referenced macro to it. It's something I've asked for - along with a lot of other attribute access for Elevations and Sections. I do have a system that accumulates all the room data. I might be able to create a way to have a macro to put that into a RTB in a Section but it would require that you know the Room Name. IOW, it would have to be a separate Global Variable for each Room. At this time I think it's more trouble than it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Perry, One possibility available at this time is a Custom Room Schedule (one Room) with just a "Room Name". It can be set up as the Default for Room Schedule and just generate a Room Schedule for each Room in the Section. You can have all the display attributes set in the defaults. It's a little bit of work, but not too much. Since I already have my real Room Finish Schedule in a CAD Detail Window I don't have to worry about the fact that the Default is set to just display a name. In addition, you can convert the Schedule to Text and then convert the Text to Rich Text. So there's a lot of flexibility if you want it. This might even be better than a Room Label since you have access to everything that you can get in the Schedule. It takes a little bit of formatting but there's a lot of data available.
