How to compile quantities for cost estimating when the data is scattered across multiple files. Aside from generating quantities for each drawing in seperate .csv files etc., is there some way to pull the data from all the drawings at once into a single summary file?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat do the data in the summary of volume calculation mean? In LDD, typically the minimum and maximum elevations are within the range of elevations where the volume is being analyzed. In my current vol calc summary it shows something that really makes me frown, e.g, min elev of -26.00 and max elev of 752. I have checked all the proposed elevations and the minimum is 720.

We use simple line drawings of parts. Some of these parts are used in multiple products, however if a change is made to a drawing it has to be replaced in all the other locations
I have tried to get them to go to 3d modeling and xref in the parts but apparently that is not acceptable , since there is no master assembly, but instead folders of dwgs is there an easier way of managing this?
I am looking for a lisp that can run a block replace on multiple drawings.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFor a highway project rail overpass there are 30' curved retaining walls - the height changes continuously and the footing and wall thickness steps according to the CalTrans Type-1 wall stepping standard. So the subassembly is a custom object. I'd like to query the C3D community knowledge for the QTO accuracy - and find an answer to these two questions.
The retaining wall area QTO by corridor payitem code is 3,000 m2 and by volume report (sample line) is 5,500 m2; why is there a difference?The volume given by volume report (6,300 m3) is 40% more then the volume found by CalTrans and the contractor with a 2D digitizer QTO (4,000 m3) - who is correct C3D or CalTrans?
I am working on the QTO right now and I'd like to move to the schedule this week.
How to changes the settings for the "Square Area" in mapcheck's closure summary. When I right-click the dwg name in the Settings tab of Toolspace and choose Edit Drawing Settings, then Ambient Settings, I see the Area settings, but in the closure summary, there is also "Square Area". Why are these both there? It WOULD be nice to show sq. ft. as well as acres, but I can't find anywhere to edit it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am exporting multiple views as DWGs to create backgrounds.
When I set Naming: to Automatic - Short, it produces files named like:
FloorPlan-2D_L1_Interiors.dwg,
FloorPlan-2D_L1_Structural.dwg,
FloorPlan-2D_L2_Interiors.dwg, etc.
The 2D_L2_Interiors is the name of the view, and it is a FloorPlan so it adds that as a prefix. I am looking for a way to force Revit to ignore the prefix.
Is there a way to export these so they are automatically generated like:
2D_L1_Interiors.dwg,
2D_L1_Structural.dwg,
2D_L2_Interiors.dwg, etc.
Does the Naming: Manual (Specify file name) option have the ability to use fields for parts of the name, perhaps taken from Project Parameters or something? So in the filename box I'd be able to say {View Style}-{View Group}-{View Name}.dwg and end up 3D-Interiors-SomeViewName.dwg?
Or should I download Ant Renamer and call it a day?
on newer drawings ( amonth or two old) my crosshairs disappear in paper space (model space is fine)....but on older drawings (some are years old) the crosshairs works fine. neither the older or newer drawings were started by me so i can;t be sure of how they were set up, but (i think) it must have something to do with the way these newer dwgs were set up.

I have created fields in the drawing properties custom fields dialogue box, then inserted those fields into my title block attributes.
Two things I hope to get out of this:
1. link these fields into the drawing property summary, so that I can display the drawing title and other pieces of info in the help strings that appear in windows explorer by simply hovering the cursor over the file.
2. I wish to be able to fill out the information in the title block by data linking it to our drawing lists in access.
For some reason I can't save metadata in the 'summary' tab (right click on any jpg and select 'properties'). The tab comes up and I can enter info into the fields and click 'ok' (or 'apply') but for some reason the data doesn't save (?). When I click the image again and pull up the tab the data I just entered, the fields are blank again. Does anyone know what would cause this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to figure out a way to sample multiple surfaces for multiple alignments.
Example 1: I am creating cross sections for a river dredge showing the pre-dredge bathymetry, design dredge elevation, and post-dredge bathymetry results. I have 100's of alignments that I need to sample 3 surfaces and display in profile view. Due to the clients requirements for display, using the cross section tools don't work for me, so I have resorted to using a seperate alignment for each cross section.
Example 2: Working in a subdivision with many utility alignments it would save quite a bit of time to be able to choose a group of alignments and sample multiple surfaces in just a few clicks.

Our Autocad parts lists used to calculate the weight of parts times the quantities. Now we are using Inventor and I see that the weight shown on a parts list is the weight of an individual part - although the quantity could be 2 , 3 (more than one). Is there a way to have the total weight shown equal to MASS times ITEM QTY?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've modified my offset quantity using GetOffsetCurves to be a negative number so as to ensure that my offset polyline is always inside the original but it is working erratically. Sometimes it is outside with a negative number and other times inside. I was thinking of testing the resulting Plines length to ensure that it is smaller (I realise there could possibly be morew than one but this would not happen in my case.)
Does this sound overly cumbersome? Would a rollback be necessary to "undo" the polyline if it is longer and therefore outside the original?
I would like to obtain, in a structured parts list, the total number of ITEM in the sub-assembly.
See the picture attached for the example.
I have found an iLogic rule to create an user ipropertie in each part, with the total nomber of this part in all the assemby (included all sub-assemblies).
I would like to know if it is possible to obtain the total of this part only in the sub-assembly. Is it possible with an iLogic rule or VBA ?
I am having a bit of trouble with my "Parts List". What I want to be able to do is show the top level assembly quantity in my part drawing. From our fabricators point of view it would be eisier if they could open/pick up a part drawing and see the total quantity needed to be produced before looking at any assembly drawings. So they could produce all individual parts then grab what they need to produce sub-assemblies. I would like to do the same for my subassembly "Part list" where I would show the total need to produce my final assembly.
So far I can only show my quantity as 1 in the parts list for a single part or subassembly, or use a static value and add the quantity by hand which can change through our design/re-design process, not to mention be extremely time consuming.
I have a piece of steel from the content centre 165mm long. The balloon (stacked format) quantity reads 165.000mm. I've had to format the parts list to get rid of the decimal places but I can't find a way of getting rid of them in the balloon. Any format setting somewhere?

I've attached a sample part & drawing of a hollow cylinder with 6 equally spaced radial holes drilled around it.
If you change the depth of the hole you will get a different quantity of holes in the drawing hole note.
I get a hole note quantity of 6 holes which is correct if I set the hole depth to 1". Change the hole depth to 2" and the hole note quantity shown changes to 5. Change the hole depth to 3" and the hole note quantity changes to 4.
I often draw bushings with radial holes like this and have to take care to not let this behavior create a wrong drawing.
Using Inventor 11...How do I change change the balloon (item 40) to read qty of 2? There are 4 total in the assembly, but this particular balloon only shows where 2 are, and another item 40 balloon will show where the other 2 are.
