Hi there,
I am trying to have a block scaled on import baised on the elevation of the point. I already use description key sets to scale blocks in import to parameters added to the code libary, for example; "Pole 0.31" draws a circle with a diameter of .31 meters.
Is there a way where I would be able to scale a block on import based on the elevation of the object? For example, a point's elevation is 1.7m, so on import it would scale a block by 1.7 on the x/y axis. Ideally if I were to modify the datum of the points the blocks would automatically scale, but that is more of a pipe dream.
We import the data from a trimble r8 rover and convert the file to a FBK file before importing the survey data.
Thanks!

The elevation would have to be a parameter in the raw description of the point. You could probably use Excel to add the elevation to the description but I'm not exactly sure how that would be done.
In excel you can use the & symbol to combine cells of text together. If you want to look it up in the help file it is refered to as concatenate
Thank you,
Good idea, I am writing an excel tool now to format the data. A bit of a pain, but beats manually scalling the blocks as I do now. I was hoping that civil would allow the elevation to be a paramiter, oh well.
Thanks for the quick response and the help!
