Hi,

 

I always get that message, but as long as I don't use none-uniform scaled blocks it does not matter.

thank you for your quick respond.

is there a way to make sure i don't use none-uniform scaled blocks?

and if i do use them - they won't be counted?

 

how can i turn this message off?

Hi,

 

>> if i do use them - they won't be counted?

first of all, don't be too afraid from that message, it tells you exactly:

       Objects IN those blocks were not extracted

That does not mean that none-uniformly scaled blocks are not reported, only objects within them (I understand that as "block in block AND scaling none-uniform").

 

>> is there a way to make sure i don't use none-uniform scaled blocks?

Not really, just be carefull during insertion of blocks, during scale-commands and when modifying properties in the property window.

 

>> how can i turn this message off?

don't know that sorry.
