Hi all, sorry if this has been covered already. I'm writing a simple area-calculation definition (working in 2D w closed planar curves) and I want to simply place a text object on the center of the area, which will update as I drag control points around in rhino. It would also be nice to have dynamic dimensions locked to control points...
does anyone have an elegant solution to this, without using a lot of scripting?
One thing you could do is to make the closed planar curves into planar surfaces...then use the area component (Surfaces.Analysis.Area ... denoted by the m2 icon). This gives you the area and area centroid...using a text tag component, you can feed the location (area centroid) and area... Is this what you were after?
I couldn't find the option to bake the text tag and 3d text tag objects natively in GH. I remember struggling with the same issue a while ago, and I had to use one of Giulio's components to bake the text as Planar Surfaces.. Do you know of a way to baking text directly?
