Counting frame joint edges

Hi,
I'm creating a structure using frames as per the image below:
What would be the best way to count the internal edges of the joints? Each edge will need a right angled bracket which I don't intend to draw but an accurate dynamic count would be useful for BOM purposes.
Any advice appreciated.
Thank you.

How often are you planning on doing this? If very often, it would make since to modify or make a custom feature for it.
You could modify the original frame cutlist feature so that it counts these for you.
CADSharp's FeatureScript - Lesson 5 is free, and it shows the basics of how to modify the cutlist feature.
Or if you don't want to do it yourself you can have a developer like CADSharp do it for you. Let me know if you need this and I can connect you.

Thank you I’ll take a look at that video.
If you don't already know FeatureScript, then I highly recommend starting at lesson 1 and going in order. Each lesson builds on the next so they teach the foundation of what you need to know for the next lesson.
