Can you round in 30" increments?

[brodie]

I've got a component that I want snap in 30" increments when I scale it. Right now I've got

=NEAREST(CURRENT("LenX"),60,90,120,150,180,210,240,270,300,330,360,390,420,450,480,510,540,570,600,630,660,690)

...but that's pretty messy and limits the sizes. Is there some way I can use the ROUND function perhaps (or something else) to just tell SU to snap in 30" increments?

How about

lenx=((lenx/30.0+0.5).floor * 30.0)
lenx=30.0 if lenx==0.0

[brodie]

I'm not quite sure how to use that. The ".floor" isn't valid, right? Is that a mistake or are you describing something?

It looks like the magic code is...

=round(current("LenX")/30)*30

".floor" is most definitely valid. It is equivalent to ".to_i" in this case.

You're bringing me further down the rabbit hole, ".to_i"? What's that?

If, as a test, I input...

=100.floor

...into the LenX box, it gives me an error (not really an error but it doesn't seem to know what to do as it reports back "#=100.floor". Likewise, when I input your code it also doesn't seem to work.

Are we both talking dynamic components or are you referring to ruby scripting?

I'm wondering if Sam is speaking in Ruby? I'm not a DC aficionado but it does look alot like ruby

Oooops double post....

DOH!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the .floor and .to_i are Ruby elements. Sorry I didn't realize we were discussing Dynamic Components.

Never mind.

ah ha, no worries I was hoping I'd missed out on some DC secrets.
