How to number parking places on 2d plan?

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a way to number parking places on a plan with Rhinoceros. Basically, I have a block, a simple rectangle which correspond to my parking place, and I would like to number it each time I copy paste it on the working space. Is this possible =) ?

For now, the only thing I could do is to count the number total of blocks which I had copy paste (with the option “BlockInstanceCount” in text field)Block for couting parking place.3dm (152.0 KB) For instance in the file that I linked, I have 5 rectangles in total, so the number is 5 each time written on each blocks. But I would like to have written 1,2,3,4 and 5.

Thanks a ton in advance,
I join you the file with the “BlockInstanceCount”,

All the best !!

Hi Kostya - does the number need to be in the block? Is it OK to number them separately?

Hi Pascal,

Yes, to have the number in the block would be perfect, then I could visually locate any parking spot with its corresponding number.
What do you mean by number them separately ?

Thank you very much,

Hi Kostya - I can’t think of a way to include an incremented number inside the block itself but you could add labels with numbers after the fact or as part of placing the block. I’ll attach a plugin that allows you to place numbered text or dots for example - I don’t know if that covers it well enough…

Numberer.rhp (19.5 KB)
If you load that (drag and drop onto Rhino) you get the Numberer command - it might help…

Pascal : Thank you so much, the plugin is awesome, even if I can’t increment number inside the block, i just have to click each time I want to number the blocks. That already helps a lot !!!
I’am saving hours of work :)))

Thank you so much again,
All the best !!
