Dimensioning a 3d point?

[Tom_P]

you want something like this ?
you want the coordinates ?

this can be done with text fields.
draw a point at 0,0,0
build an initial annotation at 0,0,0
use a textfield refering to the point.

now copy point and annotation.

Edit:

annotate_x_y_z.3dm (3.0 MB)

check the block definition in above file.

further info:
… see the “block” trick here:

Decimal zeros missing (PointCoordinate function)

PointCoordinate returns a string so you’ll have to cast it to a float first, round it, and then format it to show 2 decimals places. This should work, assuming only 1 axis. %<‘{:.2f}’.format(round(float(PointCoordinate(“Block”,“Z”)), 1))>%

Textfield display Block insertion point

Hi, I wondered if it was possible to let a block text field display the block instance’s insert point. The aim would be to create a level that automatically calculates the height itself. I saw that there is plenty of options in the text field menu, but I fear there might not be any option to achieve that? Thanks, T.

hope this helps - kind regards -tom
