Hey, Klint. It's cool to see your face on KZbin. I noticed you exited the block editor before adding the VP scale field. Is that something you can add into the block and it still updates? Also, maybe you have a vid on this already, but i could really use a refresher course on LISP routines.

Hey Mike! No, unfortunately, the field linked to the viewport cannot be in the block. If you add it in the block editor the link to the viewport doesn't stay connected when you save the block. Here are two links to AutoLISP basics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3XCdJ9rn9iNgZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/lX2blY2KbKhmfck I can make more if you let me know specifics. Great to hear from you!
