Tagging Beam Length

[amir k]

I would like to add the length of all my beams to beam tag.


However, when i try to add it when editing the label for the tag, there is no Length option available?


However on all my beams, under the dimensions section the length is shown! Thanks for any help!

you may be able to do a shared Reporting parameter, add that to the beam that reports the beam length, then add the parameter into the beam tag.

Your length parameter was created as a "normal" parameter. It needs to be treated as a shared parameter in order for it to be available for use in tags and schedules.

Part of this depends on what dimension you're looking to get.
Do you need overall fabricator cut length, Column to Column, or Finished Part Length.
You'll need to be very careful with lengths as well. If you start playing with the end offsets, I'm not sure what length you'll end up with.
