      Hello,

      I'm attempting to have a way to calculate the length of a curve within a component so that it will be available when generating a report.

      A little background. I'd like to automate irrigation design and takeoffs. With straight pipe, it's easy to create a dynamic component, lock it to Z=0 and copy or scale as needed. By querying the Len X, I'm able to have the total length of pipe needed in the generated report.

      With the drip irrigation pipe it's a bit trickier and this is where I need help. I'd like to copy or scale the drip pipe as needed to snake through beds and then be able to generate the total length of all drip pipe needed.

      Any help and guidance is much appreciated as I'm just beginning with the generate report function.

      I've attached a basic layout of the drip pipe curves that I'd like to use.
