Check out Block Attributes in Rhino 7

 


Have you tried Block Attributes? Save time by making your blocks smart with Attributes.

Attributes attach data to blocks. Configure Attributes to store a part number, cost, location, color, material, or other details about the inserted block. When you insert a block with attributes, the attribute value is updated and stored with each block instance.

Change Attributes at any time from the Properties panel.

Attribute information extracted from a model can be imported into a spreadsheet to produce reports, schedules, or a bill of materials.
