Joe_Carrick Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 OIP field values (even calculated or macro derived) can be displayed in a schedule. However, I'm not able to use them in other locations (text or macros). Does anyone know how to extract the values of a schedule row/column or the specific OIP field ?

ChristianA Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Are you using "referenced" vs "owner" in your script? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 (edited) No, I use the folloowing: referenced ? obj =referenced : obj= owner then all NVPs are per obj. That way my macros always work depending on the context.. Edited June 21 by Joe_Carrick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHCanada2 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) I use them in macros: custom_fields below. isElevationReference is an OIP but these are hand inputted, are you looking for results from a calc/macro within an OIP? if custom_fields["isElevationReference"] == "Y" ... or are you talking about something else?

Joe_Carrick Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 (edited) So I have the following in an OIP custom_field named "supported floors" ($TotalFloors + owner.floor_number + 1) which returns: 1 for the top floor 2 for the next floor down etc. those values are displayed correctly in a schedule for the custom_field["supported floors"] But when I create a user macro for an object and try to get the value of that field it simply returns ($TotalFloors + owner.floor_number + 1) Edited June 21 by Joe_Carrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHCanada2 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I thought maybe that's what you were after. I checked mine and I don't have anything like that. I suppose you could assign to a global in or from the oip, but then you are having to spend a bunch of effort managing that , which you are probably trying to avoid in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 (edited) I got it to work. It was a problem with the data assignment. I just had to change it to: ($TotalFloors - floor_number + 1) it seems to be important to have the spaces on either side of the "+" and "-" signs Edited Monday at 03:01 AM by Joe_Carrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
