When you insert the Structural Shapes with Frame generator, for each frame you want to have a custom property displaying its length along with other properties (i.e.: Stock Number).
In order to do that, you need to do the following.
- Copy the Structural Shapes family in a Read/Write library.
- Add a new column in the Family table.
- In the Column Properties define the Expression as “={STOCKNUMBER}&-&<G_L>”.
- Map the Column to the Custom Property and assign a name to it.
After doing that, you will get the profile length in the custom property either when you insert it, with Frame Generator or from the Content Center, and the length value will update accordingly, if you edit the frame.
You can see all the details in the video below.
