Ahhh...works well, what little bit I've tried it...error message if I pick on a layer that doesn't have any 3d's on it and returns the value if it is a 3d layer. Thanks ever so much Devitg.
Yes, on the error message I posted before that was a pick on a non 3d layer...the 3d layer returned this:
select a 3d
; error: no function definition: VLA-GET-ACTIVESELECTIONSET
I did try this one on two pieces of angle iron I am using for bracing...both of the are 12'-0" so the total would be 24'-0". The routine returns a value of 17'-1 55/64". The piece count is correct. Can you think of a way that the bracing could accurately be measured as well. If not this is still going to make life much easier.
Off to make this guy print to a file for my bill of materials and do some serious testing with it.
Thanks again and have a GREAT DAY.
