Display full version of the post: Level points (LISP) question
Hi all,I am new on this forum and in a search for LISP for auto levelling (Z axis ) of a level point.Problem:I am a landscape architect and working with pathways, plateaus that need to be leveled (actually this is not a problem , just intro :). At this moment I am using simple block with attribute that suffices graphical part of a drawing but when it comes to making a 3d model civil engineer (who makes 3dmodel) has to make a point for each level symbol and to put Z value for each point so we are spending a lot of time on this... I hope you understand our problem...we are very slow...Here is the idea of what i need (in my opinion) to accelerate the process:I would like to have a level point symbol (with a single point and also graphical symbol to be visible) with ability to be leveled at Z axis when i label it with an absolute level value (preferably some LISP code so we do not have to input level value twice/ first as a symbol and second in properties on Z axis). Thank you very much for your time and help , and by the way this is a great Forum!

So you are looking for an elevation marker that has a field for an attribute and when the marker is placed it will automatically display the correct level?

Hello nemsa and John, I have a block with attributes that are supposed to display the coordinates X,Y,Z automatically but the coordinate Z is not working correctly.In fact that particular bloc was made a new from an existing one working OK with X,Y found in a file from an other company ( I have just added the Z text ).Maybe some one could upgrade it for it to work OK. Find here the block to be inserted ( and not copy/paste ) COORDINATES-X-Y-Z.dwg and an example of use TEST_OD_Z.dwg. uploads/175428/TEST_OD_Z.dwguploads/175428/COORDINATES-X-Y-Z.dwg
Thank you JOSEPH, I do not need block that displays coordinates I need a block that I can place on a drawing wherever i need it (so x, y is not an issue). After placing it I want to add Z value and so it can be used for 3d model. So it doesnt have to display x, y value , just to have an Z axis value LISP or something like that .
