Automatic unique dynamic block ID

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am in a bit of a corner here 🙂 i have created dynamic window glass block and want to create attribute that generates automatically dynamic block ID , based on height and width. Is that possible? i've tried to to create formula (height+1)*width/1000. For example if H=1000 and W=1000 it gives  ID like that: (1000+1)*1000/1000=1001; and if H=1000 and W=1500, than (1000+1)*1500/1000=1501,5 ID would be 1502. It's too long. Have anyone tried something similar?

See attached.  You have to REGEN after changing the size of the window in order for the ID to update.

Yes i know that, but the my question is not about my way to name blocks, but is there any other way, besides this one, to create unique blocks iDs?

1000*1000: 1010
1000*1500: 1015
