Cubic Feet Calcualtor

Does anyone have a cubic feet calculator for extrude objects?

(vla-get-volume (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel))))

didn't work

What's the return? The more information you provide, the better.

If you got an error that the functions weren't available, you might try

(vl-load-com)

first.

Efeezy -

Did you stick Alan's and Freerefill's lines togther?

something like.....

 
(defun c:Cubfeet (/ Volfeet)
(vl-load-com)
(setq Volfeet(vla-get-volume (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel)))))
(princ (strcat"\nVolume = "(rtos Volfeet 2 2) "ft³"))
(princ)
);defun

One more

(defun c:MrEfeezysVolume ( / ent obj )
 (vl-load-com)

 (if (setq ent (car (entsel)))

   (if (vlax-property-available-p
         (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object ent)) 'Volume)

     (alert (strcat "Volume: " (rtos (vla-get-Volume obj))))

     (alert "Selected Object Does not have a Volume Property")

   )
 )
 (princ)
)

HaHa, I wrote it the same exact way when I wrote a dummy function. I was just waiting on him to get a little farther with it.

You guys ever feel like you're being taken for granted?

MrEfeezysVolume works perfect thank you!!! You should have put your name on it...

Definitely. Which is why my posts have a lot less parens than they used to.

Ditto

But that was just a throwaway really...

I'm sure you can do that for me

All the more reason to let them figure it out on their own. :wink:

didn't work

Judging by this useless comment ^^, I doubt the OP did very much to get closer to the solution to be honest. I would imagine they expected the solution to be handed to them on a plate.

Then that would make me want to help even less. It's no skin off my teeth if they don't get what they want. I'm all for helping, but I'm not going to force a solution to the 'problem' because they're too lazy take the provided information and run with it.

Maybe you guys should dish out "it's time to learn lisp" more often. I needed to hear that to get going.

I agree. Giving someone a full, complete program is only going to teach them if they force themselves to pick it apart and research every bit of it. And if it's too advanced, they wouldn't know where to start. If anything, giving someone a complete program would make them NOT want to learn, because why would they if they already have the end result of their immediately need?

This may tie in to the proposed forum update. It would be nice to have a forum dedicated to actually learning, where all the complete code and programs go into the code archive. Then again, I don't want to make suggestions that'll make more work for CadTutor or the mods..

Cad64, LeeMac, alanjt.

I just want you to know that some of us really do appreciate the work you guys do. Some of us are here seeking knowledge not demanding requests.

I will agree with you that some members are over exuberant in their demands. I am dissapointed with the posts that are tailored "High Priority" or "I need this right away"

Thats really all. Just thought you should hear it.
