Looking for a solution to speed up my timber frame shop drawings - currently I put all the timber sizes into my drawings by hand. I would love to be able to pull a leader in LayOut and combine the width / height of a component into 1 attribute.
Currently I can do it in LO with Copy / Paste and type in the ‘size2’ attribute, - but this does not allow me to use the eye dropper on the leader and move from timber to timber generating new ones.
I believe I need to be able to combine 2 attributes in the Dynamic Components into 1 line in order to pull this into LayOut with any fuss. Here I’ve made Size1 and Size2 Custom Text Attributes:
Working LO I can only choose one of the options:
I can hand edit the leader text to include the second:
This reports correctly but I cannot copy / paste or eye dropped sample this text on another timber.
Is there a way to combine the 2 attributes in SketchUp so I can report 1 attribute in LayOut?
Ideally I would have a text field that reported: Size1 X Size2 - where the sizes are derived from LenX, LenY or LenZ depending on what I’m building.
