[Request] - Component's options report

[thomthom]

Isn't that what you get from File -> Generate Report ?

[dedmin]

Not exactly - a lot of useless info, no quantities and only inches:

TIG has something but not exactly: http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rubylibrarydepot/plugin_details.php?id=75

[dedmin]

Two more - nothings works.

Up.

So, nobody knows a way to use all this data that we can put in an dynamic component? I tried with Generate report but it's useless - with 60-70 components it freezes SketchUP and the report is a real mess! I think this attributes can be a shortest way to have some BOM inside SketchUP!

I'm keep on searching for a solution and found this - http://code.google.com/intl/bg/apis/sketchup/docs/tutorial_attrreporting.html

But getting error when trying to load it:

There's an error in that published script !
I suspect that

value = value.gsub(/\"/,'"')
value = value.gsub(/\'/,''')
return value

should be

value = value.gsub(/\"/,'"')
value = value.gsub(/\'/,'"')
return value

around line #159..............

Well TIG, I am not a coder but to my eyes, the two sniplets look exactly alike.

Edit; found the difference!

[TIG]

' ' ' >> ' " '
One 'character' is all it takes to **** up a script -
is there quality control at Google ???

[dedmin]

[dedmin]

SketchUP's Generate Report freezes the program just at 1 components

But this script is working fine so far!!

[dedmin]

Now, that at least we can extract some data is there a way to filtered it. For instance to get components quantity and

[dedmin]

Up.

[dedmin]

I found a way to convert the inches, but the problem with counting components still remain. Any idea how to include this into the report?

[dedmin]

Still hoping...

[TIG]

Since your example is written in 'Cyrillic' [?] it's hard to understand... Ddo you find the details of a component and also want to show a total number of it in the report - like on the Entity Info window ?
You need to find its definition and then its instances and count them, the format the html/csv to include the 'count' - something like...

ss=model.selection
ents=ss.to_a
### OR ents=model.entities
### OR ents=model.active_entities
defns=[] ### to become a list of used definitions
ents.each{|e|
  if e.class==Sketchup;;ComponentInstance
    defns<< e.definition if not defns.include?(e.definition)
  end#if
}
counts=[] ### to become a collection of definitions [by name] and their instance counts [as a string]
defns.each[|d|
  counts<< [d.name, d.instances.length.to_s]
}

• note it's untested!
  You now have an array of selected [or all used] definitions by name, paired with the total of their instances....
  So to output it to the Ruby Console use something like...

counts.each{|e|
  puts e[0]+"\t"+e[1]
}

I'll leave the formating of the csv / html lines etc to you or others.............

[dedmin]

Thanks so much! I made a component in English to show what I mean:

The report is a real mess and in inches, but I managed to clean it up in Excel.

[TIG]

So you are almost sorted

I did need a plugin to creat a simple list of components with: LenX, LenZ, LenY, Material, and Name
Not the boundinbox, because sometime in the draw the component could stay in angle different that axes.
Please need help, Could give a good Cookie to your jar.
Will use this to report list of furniture components to outside software that will calculate price.
Need SAP!
