BOXCOUNT – Total Length of 3D Solid Boxes (Free AutoCAD LISP)

11th August 2026

FREE AUTOCAD LISP

BOXCOUNT — total length of your 3D box profiles, by size

The rectangular cousin of PIPES: select your 3D solids and BOXCOUNT totals the length of every box-shaped profile — RHS steel, timber sections — ready for the cut list.

It reads true box solids: made with the BOX command, or rectangles extruded or swept along a straight path. Everything else in the selection is ignored.
