Hello again! We hope you are staying safe as we continue through these quarantine times.
Our office continues to work remote and we were recently asked to create a fire access plan with paths that were fluid, not linear, and calculate their lengths to show they meet code.
The first thing I thought was “easy-peasy” I’ll just create a schedule for the lengths of the splines! Sounds great until I created a spline as a Model In-Place Component and the length was grayed out and could not be reported in a schedule (figures). So obviously my next step was to find a workaround! I found this helpful tip on a forum that I am going to share with you today with more images and hopefully it is helpful to you. Let’s get started!
So let’s see how this works!!
See just a few whole bunch of steps and you got it! Next time, we can show you the LONG way to do this… just kidding!
I know this process is a bit lengthy, but it gets the job done and works! We here@HAYNE LOVE things that work accurately. With a little practice this does become easier and faster. I hope this helps you and let us know if you have another work around you would like to share!
