1. Is it an = sign before the 4? 2. How do you keep the variable in alphabetical order? I sort per direction and it doesn’t stay when the variable value box shows up. 3. Does the value matter in which order you input in levels?
1. Yes it is. 2. Do you mean when the 'Dimension Properties' box opens up, as shown at 15:23 in the video? The variables should match the order you set in the Expression Editor, so it should also be in alphabetical order if you set it as such. 3. Not quite sure what you mean here, as long as the input values correspond correctly with the set variable, there should be no issue.
Can you explain why you use an initial offset of 0.8m. Also is there a slight mistake stating a level of 46.7 rather than 47.6 at approximately 5mins in or is my understanding of this process wrong? Thanks in advance.
Hi Ruairi, I can't access the Consultant to provide answers, but I'll do my best myself :) . To explain the 0.8m positive default offset, navigate to 8:13 in the video; here you can see the Dimension Groups in bottom-left corner, with the completed takeoff displayed on the main screen. 0.8 denotes the highest point, and you'll see prior to this that the Consultant adjusts the offset as they go along. 0.2 is the difference between each measured section, and the offset moves into negative numbers for the 'Fill To Make Up Levels'. And yes, my interpretation watching this is that 46.7 is a slight error, and it should be 47.6 as you suggested. Hope this helps!
@@RIBCostX thank you for your reply. The 0.8 is probably something to do with the use of 46.7 which gets you closer to a depth of 0.8. That makes sense now thanks just wanted to be sure I was understanding it correctly.
Hi Grac7228, thanks for your message. If you were referring to the 'Spot or Grid Level method', and have already inserted the variables, the formula would be as follows: ((XVAR("Existing Level A")+XVAR("Existing Level B")+XVAR("Existing Level C")+IF(XVAR("Number of levels")=4,XVAR("Existing Level D"),0))/XVAR("Number of levels"))-XVAR("Formation Level") Hope this helps!

@@ruairioboyle9453, could you help me with this? Where did she get 0.8? Would you please solicit some calculations
Could you type out the formula exactly please as I can’t see it properly on the video. Thanks in advance.
Hi Grac7228, thanks for your message.
If you were referring to the 'Spot or Grid Level method', and have already inserted the variables, the formula would be as follows:
((XVAR("Existing Level A")+XVAR("Existing Level B")+XVAR("Existing Level C")+IF(XVAR("Number of levels")=4,XVAR("Existing Level D"),0))/XVAR("Number of levels"))-XVAR("Formation Level")
Hope this helps!
I think that should be possible to do software to do this in much more simple way
That looks horrendous. Use dedicated c&f software and don’t kid yourself that this is how it should be done.
