Lads,

I am looking for a way how to export dimensions X,Y,Z of 3d elements to exel file. THat would be a kind of exel spec of used elements in project.

As an example please see model below.

 

 

Thanks for advise,

How is that cantilevered portion of the structure supported in the back and the front too for that matter?

 

Do you really want to have a window and door framed side-by-side like that?

 

So you want to create a bill of materials listing the number and size of each framing member?

Answering for your questions:

1.) showedn dwg is made for quotations purposes, but my plan is to support cantilevered balcony on front wall and post (right hand side) & left wall (cut in posts) + post as below

2.) No, I will move it of course, thanks

3.) Such list would save me 2hours/day.. my sub-contractors don't have Acad, so it will make theirs lives easier.

One remark I work on A2006.

thanks ,

This VBA program might do the trick but it utilizes MS Access (database).

Access is fine, but It doesn't work unfortunattely. Maybe I do something wrong... Do you know what does it means:

That's the problem with code written to accept a specifc piece of information. The code would have to be changed. MEI standard must refer to McBride Engineering, Inc.
