          working but :

          CoG Report File:
          'F:\neo batitrad\Bar & Ka/console_CofG_Report.csv'
          Cannot be written - it's probably already open.
          Close it and try making the Report again...
          Exiting.
          nil

          and it's not open, cause it's not written yet !

            Try renaming the folder 'Bar & Ka' to 'Bar_Ka' - The '&' in the file_path might be the culprit ?
            Also is your model SKP really called 'console.skp' ?
            Try the version 1.2 which has more error messages, that might report what is really up...

                    If accents are forbidden, that is very annoyous for French Windows System 😲
                    Because there is an accent for the principal Desk and for some of path! !!! 😮
                    C:\Documents and Settings\Propriétaire\Bureau

                    PS I have not the use of this plug, but it's by curiosity 😄

                    Of course now I obtain nothing 😄
                    except this 😄 (i have saved my object with Cof as Untitled.skp
                    curious is the "/" and ""

                    cofgreporter
                    No such file or directory - C;\Documents and Settings\Propriétaire\Bureau/Untitled_CofG_Report.csv
                    CoG Report File;
                    'C;\Documents and Settings\Propriétaire\Bureau/Untitled_CofG_Report.csv'

                    Edit: That works when I use a path without accent for save my file! 😎 👍

                      The Unicode paradox is an annoying bit of Sketchup's Ruby - some of the 'File' functions don't work properly if there are accented characters etc in path_names etc... Sorry!
                      At least we know the cause of the problem...
                      The \ / is also from the same methods when you get the filepath on a PC it has \ separators [/ on MAC], when you join on the new file_name it's always with the as the ;joining; separator / - but it still works OK... 😒

                            Although it might still fail you should get more error messages... 😕

                              It corrects the glitch that a few users might get with 'group.definition' - OK if you have some of my other tools installed but not this one alone - now sorted...
                              Please try and report back... 😕

                                    There's a lot of intensive stuff needed to 'integrate' possibly hundreds of slices through the selected object and find their common centroids...
                                    You should get a 'count-down' 'nnn of mmm' report in the VCB and then a '...processing ......' ?
                                    It will finish eventually...

                                      Hi, this is a very interesting plugin. I'm going to try it.
                                      Two things struck me.
                                      Knips 2011-09-23 um 09.23.18.png

                                      1st The rounding of numbers (but this is something I can work with ... )
                                      2nd Hollow objects (pipes, etc.) are calculated as full volumes.

                                      Knips 2011-09-23 um 10.09.14.png

                                      Can this be repaired with the hollow objects? That would be great.

                                        You can edit the number of dp's in the code - in the lines around the first half of the 300s...
                                        I'm unsure about your comment - objects that are individual 'solids' are reported correctly - even when there are hollows. However, if you combine objects into a group it will by its nature cease to be a true manifold solid as there are internal 'partitions' - therefore sometimes the volume calculations can be awry. You should take the CofG of the parts and then make a combined CofG - this is also important if the parts have different densities...
                                        Can you supply an example where manifold solid objects are returning incorrect values.Capture.PNG
                                        This one returns proper results even if the two groups are nested into one, as the 'slices' needed to calculate the CoG are maintained - but it is not always possible...
