Hi,
I want to have Rhino count my blocks dynamically within a certain room or area. So that when I drag a block inside that area, the dynamic text will update accordingly.
Does such feature exist, and if not, what are my alternatives?
I know I can use grasshopper to do this, but I want to make this in Rhino alone if possible.
See below an example:
Hi Calcen -
That feature does not exist, no.
Apart from using Grasshopper, you could possibly script this in Python. You could also modify the Grasshopper definition so that it can be run with the Rhino GrasshopperPlayer command or turned into a plug-in with the script compiler.

Hi @wim , thanks for suggestions!
I’ll give the Grasshopper player a try.
This would be really handy, I’m not a Grasshopper user but would be a nice addition to native Rhino in the future, or maybe someone has a clever little python script that could work 
Yeah would definitely love this function. I found out about autocad’s block count recently and you could count within a defined boundary. I think something else that could be useful would be to have the block count table to be able to count only within a block/group, so you could use the same block as a legend for example and not have to explode it as it interferes with the counting accuracy.
