I was looking at the following recently posted article about Item Type Syntax: https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki/51013/video-item-type-syntax-for-nodes-and-conduits
Although the title of the article is specific to Nodes and Conduits, it seems that the start of the list is generic to all civil objects?
My specific issue is I am trying to find an expression to obtain the area of a Parcel Pad. I tried using
this.GetElement().MeshSurfaceEntity_PlanarArea
which is listed as a Civil Quantities property, but that is not giving me any results.
Any suggestions on how to get this area?
Thanks
Have you tried 'this.GetElement().Area' on the element defining the outline of the pad? Just an idea.
Hi Iwan,
That is the right Expression, but just make sure to use the Type is "Text".

Hmm, I do already have the type set as text:
BTW, I do have this.GetElement().GetDisplayValue("FeatureName") working fine - that expression is giving me the Feature Name of the Parcel Pad. But this one is just giving me blanks.
What version are you using? I tested in 2020 release 2 and it seems to work ok?
Sorry for the delay in responding.
I am also on 2020 Release 2. Even tried creating a brand new file from the OOB seed file. Still getting a complete blank from that expression.
