Here's v1.1 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=278046#p278046
The error in the error message is fixed!
Please retry...
To be on the safe site please ensure your file_path/skp_name contains no accented characters - SUp's Ruby is not happy with unicoded characters

[Bertier]

will do now;

thank you

It's cof****g****reporter - you mistyped!

[Bertier]

oops...

[Bertier]

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...

Here's v1.2 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=278046#p278046

[Bertier]

It's a secret but there's a clue in his profile

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'
Cannot be written - it's probably already open.
Close it and try making the Report again...
Exiting.
nil

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

[TIG]

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...

[Bertier]

there is no accent in my path ....

cofgreporter
undefined method `definition' for #Sketchup::Group:0xe005344
CoG Report File:

Have you save your file SKp in the samme path?

[TIG]

Bertier
Did you install v1.2
Although it might still fail you should get more error messages...

[TIG]

Heres's v1.3 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=278046#p278046
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...

[Bertier]

hooray !

it's working :

cofgreporter
CofG Report written to
'F:\neo batitrad\Bar_Ka/console_CofG_Report.csv'
nil

nice.

[Bertier]

for some reason, using CoG makes SU "not responding"....

any clues ?

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.

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

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