BlenderBim custom drawing scale help

1. S by SavyGust27 on 9 Apr 2023, edited 11 Apr 2023 #

   Tried applying a custom drawing scale of 1:25 but i got an error. tried changing the scale in IFC Object Property set first but it only changes the drawing scale, not the annotations.

   The way im doing it is by selecting the camera, going to the setting and choosing custom in the drawing scale options and i then tipe the scale 1:25 and press the generate drawing.

   Python: Traceback (most recent call last):

   File "C:\Users\Rodas\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.4\scripts\addons\blenderbim\bim\module\drawing\operator.py", line 165, in invoke

   return self.execute(context)

   File "C:\Users\Rodas\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.4\scripts\addons\blenderbim\bim\module\drawing\operator.py", line 188, in execute

   self.get_scale()

   File "C:\Users\Rodas\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.4\scripts\addons\blenderbim\bim\module\drawing\operator.py", line 622, in get_scale

   self.human_scale, fraction = self.camera.data.BIMCameraProperties.custom_diagram_scale.split("|")

   ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

   Thats the message i get

   i have tried tipping 1/25, same thing. So im not sure how to get a custom scale

   using blenderbim 0.0.23.0406

   A scale is represented in two parts, a human readable portion (e.g. 1:100, or for imperial units 1-1/2"=1'-0") and a computer readable division 1/50 (for 1:50, or let's say 1/8 for some imperial thing). The two parts are separated by a pipe |.

   So try entering 1:25|1/25.

   The UI is really not user friendly, of course :) Any suggestions, mockups, would be incredibly appreciated so we can fix it for the next user.
