Yes, I'd like to have access to the value of the info palette from within the Component Attribute palette.
As some kind of function for example.

@Dave R
Thank you. I will try that.

@TIG
Thank you.
Is "component_instance.volume" ruby code?
How can I use it? Is it possible to use it within a function in the component attribute palette?

Cheers,

Hello,

I am trying to do some calculations with component attributes.
Unfortunately I can not find da way to retrieve the Volume of a component, that is shown in the Element Info palette.
I'd like to access the volume to make further calculations within the component attributes.

I know there are some plugins to calculate the volume of an object but why isn't it possible to access the volume of the info palette?

Thank you for help
kind regards

Hello,

I like Sketchup very much but it is not suited for complex models with lots of trees or grass.
What do you recommend for that? I am using Macs so I cannot use 3D Studio Max.
The ideal program should have an GUI and modeling concept like Sketchup and some kind of workflow with sketchup would be great. I had Bonzai3D in mind and tried it, but it doesn't seem to be very fast with complex models.

Do you have any ideas or experiences?

Kind regards
