Edges length attribute in dc according to edge material
-
Hello.
Simple thing i want to achieve, but i dont know how to write a script for custom dynamic component attribute utilizing "dcfunctions_v1"
I want to get a custom attribute in DC lets call it WANTED_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTE =edge.length.by.material("edgematerialX"), which would retrieve the total length of all edges inside of the component assigned with certain material with a name
- similar to =facearea("material")
i tried to search the forum, there are some similar scripts calculating perimeters of faces working, but i cannot adapt it to my case.
I need it for linear quantity of linear objects, for example if i model a gutter using follow me along path and i would assign that path with a material and then in the DC i would obtain a linear quantity of that gutter for further cost analysis (because gutter as such even if solid with volume is not relevant quantity)
Thank you very much. I hope its easily doable.
