      I mean compute total area by layer.
      I explain: I am doing a big project. I put each floor's top face on adifferent layer corresponding to the affectation of the floor (for exemple: exhibition, administration, library etc...). Each time I want to check the total area of library's floor for exemple, I select one face, right click, and go into context menu and choose "by layer" to have the sum of all areas of library's floors top faces. I do that 40 times a day.
      I think that if we can make a report of all areas of these faces we can produce an automated area table for elements of program.
      Of course it could be done with materials, but we often want to give the same material to all the floors. The differenciation comes with layers.
      Switching to "color by layer" mode gives a more analytical vision.
      "color by layer mode" = analytical, programmatic
      "textured mode" = realistic, rendering.

      Sorry for my frenglish.

          Thank you, Fredo6:
          An excellent concept. 👍 👍

          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

            NEW RELEASE: ReportLabelArea 2.0a - 19 Dec 11

            ReportLabelArea is a rework of the previous ReportArea standalone plugin. It provides:

            • More visual features for Reporting and Browsing for Areas
            • Creation, update and Edition of labels with Areas
            • Area formatting (choice of unit and decimals) for all functions

            There are two videos to give an idea of the main features of the plugin

            ReportLabelArea is now published as part of the FredoTools suite of Plugins

            See main post of this thread for more information.

            Fredo

                Could you make them separate to install?

                      I mean you are providing a set of tools and I have to install them all at one time. But I have already installed some of them and made my own icons for them.

                      Actually I am using sutool of Wikii as a manager of all my plugins. And this set of combined tools doesn't support that.

                      I konw I can also control display of the icons through your LibFredo6, but it would still be wonderful if you could continue providing these tools als seperate plugins at the same time.

                        I understand.
                        I am not a user of Wikii's SUTool. Can you tell me how you bind the icon / command to the Plugin.

                        I can try to offer an interface which is compliant so that you keep seeing the plugins as standalone.

                        Fredo

                        PS: I regrouped the plugins to minimize the footprint in SU, (i.e. have a single menu item). I also provides a Quick Launcher.

                            Hello [b]Fredo6**.

                            Forgive for my bad English.

                            I use many yours Plugins. I give an appreciation on these workings out.
                            I address to you with the request, to make calculation function on length;
                            Millimetres running
                            Centimetres running
                            Metres running.

                            Probably to execute it?

                            I thank you.

                              A query. You can add a tool to measure length of vectors, curves, polylines etc ...?

                                Fredo. Great Tool.
                                One question. The sorting is by either Material or by Layer.
                                Any chance to add By Layer then by Material?
                                Something like this?

                                Layer1
                                Material 1
                                Material 2
                                Material 3
                                Layer2
                                Material 1
                                Material 2
                                Material 3

                                Regards.

                                  Is there any way to automatically update existing labels if the area has changed? I could not find a way to do so, but perhaps I am missing something

                                  Thanks for such an amazing plugin btw.

                                    I thought about it and there is a way. I hesitated because it obliges to store some information as attribute of faces and use an observer (notably not very stable in Sketchup). This latter issue made me hesitate as the plugin could have bad side-effects even if you do not use it at all.

                                    One possibility is that I introduce a "refresh" option to update all labels. Maybe I'll do it in a next release.

                                    Thanks for the suggestion

                                      You are most welcome. A refresh button but be ideal in my opinion.
                                      I never expected the labels to be updated automatically anyway since that would probably have a negative impact on performance (just wild gessing).

                                        Souvent cela dépends du point de vue choisi...

                                          Hi Fredo,

                                          I downloaded this tool as part of Fredo6 tools pack. Makes Sketchup one of the most useful tools for architectural design. I constantly use it to report areas and update area schedules of projects. I now use sketchup as a 2d tool more and more. Bye autocad!!!

                                          Thanks a lot!!!

                                            Thanks for the comment. If you think there is additional functionality that could be useful, do not hesitate. This is not an area where I am myself familiar.
