Hello,
I saw in an earlier topic that you were planning on enabling vaTags to be used with Rhino objects.
I was wondering if this is something you are still planning on releasing?
I would greatly appreciate this feature (and it would give me a solution on a previous topic I opened).
I’m also looking for this feature since I’m exporting Plan Views to AutoCAD to share them with other people, and Rhino text gets flattened as curves. I guess vaTags would remain editable text?
Thank you,
Hi @antoine3,
This feature is planned to be implemented but it hasn’t been done yet, we will let you know when we have news about it.
Anyway, if you need to use vaTags with blocks, something you can do is transforming those blocks into vaElements, so that you can use vaTags with them. You can do this by creating a new Element Style and selecting the 3D block (and the 2D block for plan representation if you need it) in the Geometry tab:
Hi @alfmelbev,
Nice, that seems to be a good workaround, i’ll try it!
Thank you,
Here is a simple script I use often which takes a block and quickly makes it an element. You can add a prefix if you like in order to keep things more organized.
It’s probably possible to make this into a grasshopper player script, but I’ve never done it. You could probably also tweak it to pull from the block manager without referencing a block instance. But this simple script often does the trick and saves me a bunch of time.
