BlockAttribute text field world coordinates

Scripting

hi @wim ,

I’ve seen this topic and related youtrack topic.

%<PointCoordinate("block","XYZ")>%

Great that this block vraiable is now available. It will save a lot of time and effort in creating
architectural drawings

When the instance is nested inside another definiton, the text field displays the coordinates of the position related to its parent, which makes sense. However, I’d like to display the world Z coordinate of the insert point instead. Is there any way to achieve that?

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim -

That turned out to be somewhat difficult to achieve in the code.
I’ve added that request to the list as RH-88794 TextField: PointCoordinate: Top Level of Nested Blocks
