Design Review - perimeter

[gedcoull]

Hi there - can someone please help. I would like to know how to derive the perimeter of an area I have marked-up?

Thank you for your question. 

Please follow the steps below to derive the perimeter of an area of a markup.

1. Use ADR API IAdContent2 to get your markup(s),

    IAdContent SectionContent;

    ...

    MyMarkups = (AdCommon.IAdCollection) SectionContent.get_Objects (2); //2 is to return all markup objects, 3 is to return all selected markup objects.... 

2. Use IAdContent2 to derive the bounding box of markup(s),  

    ...

    MarkupsExtents = (AdCommon.IAdRect) SectionContent.get_Extents (MyMarkups);

    MarkupsExtents.Left;

    MarkupsExtents.Top;

    MarkupsExtents.Right;

    MarkupsExtents.Bottom;

    ...  

Please refer to the ADR API documentation for more information.

Any further questions please let me know.

Hi, I have the same question as Gedcoull but do not understand Herbert.He's responce.

I have measured areas using the measure area tool to work out floor area, Can I easily convert these area measures into length measures ( i.e. the perimeter of the area) so that I can measure the skirting boards for the rooms i have already measured.

I do not wish to re-click around all my room perimeters when I have already done so.

To claify i am using Autodesk Design Review 2013

Many Thanks & Kind Regards

Chris
