Al_H_C Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hi, Does anybody know a way of creating a block attribute that will reference the z value of a separate 3d model (topographical survey) at a given point? I know the z value of the block itself can be listed as a simple block attribute but I need the reference to check for the z value of an unlinked model which will be inserted/ x-reffed beneath the block. Any ideas? Thanks Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Create a block that consists only of a point, with an attribute that shows the Z value of the point. The block inserted in a drawing, even if the input point is selected on an X-ref will show the height ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_H_C Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hi Steven, The block would need to have multiple points (corners of a building) and would not necessarily snap directly onto an object on the topo. To be honest I'm not sure it's something that's really possible having though about it. Regards Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Might you be able to use a FIELD instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
