Schedule slab edges by style

Hello!

There is any way to schedule the length of the slab edges by their style (no only the Baseline and the non-Baseline PSD)?

Are you looking for length of each edge to breakdown the total perimeter length?

I need the sum of edges with the same style.

I'm using slabs for ceiling and different edge styles to determine the encounter with the wall (I don't now how to say in English) like a spacing or a curtain holder.

So I want do schedule, for example, 5m of style A, 3m of style B, 2m os curtain holder, etc...

Sorry, I don't know how to access or even if you can access the edge lengths individually or by style.  You could get what you want from polylines though.

This is exactly how I do 😉 

I'm searching for a way to cut this step and extract the length directly from the model...

The next step would be identify by color each style on the plan view... Another challenge!

 

Thank you very much for the responses!

I'm not sure if this is something that needs to be modeled or not but another option would be to use framing members as your edge element. All of the property definitions that you mention are available (Color, Length and Style). Additive or subtractive interference conditions are available for modeling.

By far the best solution!
