Hello everyone. I’ve changed from autocad to rhino to draw floor plans and elevations of buildings using 3d pointclouds, I have the Arena4d plug in for rhino 5 and its working great.
I have no scripting knowledge and before I try to learn I wanted to ask if what I want is possible!
I can use the osnap setting to actually place various point on the pointcloud using Arena4d, from this I was wondering if I could then insert a piece of text with the z levels to go beside the various points? Once the script has been run I could then flatten all these to end up with a 2d floor plan drawing as below
This is pretty easy to do using Rhino’s scripting capabilities. Do you have a sample model that you can provide that demonstrates what you are looking for?
Been waiting for a response, gave up. So wrote a short script to hopefully help out. The script can give either X, Y, Z, XY, XZ, YZ or XYZ co-ordinates of the selected point and display it in a TextDot. The result is relative to the active CPlane.
Problem I have is getting to work with a Detail viewport, any ideas?
I have just returned from holiday so apologies for lack of response.
I have attached a drawing showing the points in 3d with the end result i need to get to. I think David is 90% there, but when I tested the script it seems that when i export out of rhino its not sending the textdots out.
