This is in no way intended to replace the need for a table object or table generator in Rhino.
However, you may not know that there is a work around to get tables on the Rhino model or layout.
This is for you.
Importing a PDF of a formatted table actually works well in Rhino 7 & 8 WIP.
- In Excel or Google Docs, format your table, including borders.
- Print to PDF file.
- Import PDT to Rhino or drag & drop on to the Rhino application and pick Import.
- Set PDF unit = to Rhino unit or scale after importing with Gumball or scale command
Uniform Gumball Scale: Hold down the Shift key and drag one of the scale markers. - Miscellaneous clean up as required.
Need Changes: Update in Excel or Google sheets and repeat.
Give it a try if you need a schedule on your layout.
If you use Rhino 7 Block Attributes, try the new Rhino 7 test command TestExportBlockAttributes. This will generate a CSV that you can import and format in a spreadsheet program. (Rhino 8 WIP the command is ExportBlockAttributes)
See previous post here: New Block Attribute Export command
