Re: Select Faces Macro

Roy, your revised macro works perfectly and is a thing of beauty. Furthermore you have come up with a code that ChatGTP was unable to produce after at least a dozen failed attempts. Bravo!

Re: Macros to select Faces & Vertexes

What do you mean by "scary stuff"? In such short time, Laurie mastered programming, that's scary. Lol. Given my prior knowledge of programming some might even say "unbelievable" John :lol: Thomas, I think it is scary because I came up with a solution to my problem which would ha...

Re: How to compute the resistance of this metallic part (steel angle iron), for a joist fitted in an I-profile beam?

Thank you very much @Laurie Hartley, @thschrader and others for your answers! I'm thinking about using on-the-shelf parts : what do you think about the following solution?
