Hello All -

How can one get a true length for a component with the 'generate report' operation?

I've posted a model here:

And the html report here:

Timber in white is inserted from my library.
Timber in blue is scaled from that timber.

I've then copied and 'swapped' the end markings for joinery, themselves dynamic components.

Taking a look at the list - I do not get a reliable value for LenZ of the 'timber' component.
Is this due to the way I've built the components? Or is it a function of the scale tool? Or nesting?

If we look for sub component 'beam' - this does return a true value for that instance, regardless of scale.
But - ideally I'd like to see the true length value for the parent - this would simplify estimating / etc.

Am I doing something wrong? Missing something?
One would think that the LenZ would be overall length of whatever you stick together - and this is true when I build simple boxes and nest them... but I cannot repeat the behavior when I use the dyn components.

Thanks for the help.
Great forum here!
