cut list and change blocks

[nicolapodda]

hi to everyone, I am new to the forum and from a few weeks I have been "frugando" autocad.
I have 2 questions to ask you... (Surely for you are discounted)
I designed a dog's bunk on autocad. I did everything in 3d using solids for pillars that have 1mt height 12cm deep and 8cm wide, and for tables that have x length 13.5cm wide and 2.5cm thick. but now I'd like to get a cut list. example... I need 2 pieces of 1mt long beams, 15 2mt boards etc...
I read that it is possible to get the whole but you have to create blocks of every single material and then insert them into the drawing.
I created the pillar block from 1mt x 8 x 12. within the block editor I assigned the properties of length and height and now I can export with a table the various measures.
Now my problem arises. when I insert a 3d block and want to vary the length of the latter as I do? I tried to give an ironing action but when I go ironing instead of stretching the object moves it.
Can someone help me?
Thank you.

but the length you want to vary only for the last block inserted or for everyone?

I would be useful to be able to change it several times as with the same type of material I have to realize for example the walls that have a measure, the roof has another measure but the type of material used is the same

I do not understand that parameters and actions can be applied to solids 3d...

Oh! here
So there is no system to generate a cut list using solid 3d?
Thank you.

creates a block containing a cube of size 1x1x1, when insert assigns the appropriate scale to transform it into the desired object, for example in the case of your pillar insert it with scale 1.0.12,0.08

In essence each object is a properly scaled block, with extinctions you can export scalax, scalay and scalaz, i.e. the measurements of your cuts.

tried and the system works, but when I go to export the data tells me that the modified and unbalanced scale blocks will not be analyzed.

the message says the objects content in the blocks will not be extracted, that is, the cubes, but you are interested in the blocks.

Just try. . .

Thank you very much
