I am trying to get an inventory of the various elements in my project (house with wood framing skeleton). To know for example how many beams are used and what is their total length.
[CONTEXT]
Since, I use wood framing, there are repetitive elements (like wall wood columns) that I model in Freecad like so:
- make a structure
- make an array out of it (e.g. repetition of x times along the x axis)
- make a Mother Structure object (called "MS") based on this array, to be able to subtract the roof out of these designed beams
- eventually select the roof to the subtracted objects in this last "MS" structure object (to cut the beams at the right length)
[PROBLEM]
I try to use the BIM schedule to extract data from my model but I have no success in getting :
- the right length of a structure when there is subtraction to it (e.g. a simple Structure from 4500 mm Height where I subtract a roof at about 2600 mm)
- get the count and total length of my "MS" elementary structure elements
Many thanks for comments.
Cheers
