      hi, I did not change, I just copied a component in the scene.
      this task.
      1.Select all the components in the scene
      2. select the components of a key (such as "DSP")
      2a. (can take the key values ​​from a separate file?)
      3. display or save the file in the list of components (screen of what I would like to see)

      The XY [in mm] need to come from the two largest values of the 'panel' - because sometimes the Z is NOT the minimum [=thickness]. OR you could report all three XYZ and you then simply ignore the smallest one [thickness] ??
      Counting the number of a a specific DC and reporting it is possible:
      number = instance.definition.instances.length.
      I now see that the 'DSP' is the area [in m2] of 'chipboard' used in that panel.
      I'm not sure what the 'Kromka' is - probably linear 'm' of edging ?
      You need to adjust the way the values of these 2 are handled - so NO .to_l step since that turns the value [assumed to be in inches] into a length in current units [mm] - perhaps leave them as the float that they are, made into a string [.to_s] ?
      Totaling up specific columns is demonstrated in the example code I've given you - adjust it to sum just those you want.
      The CSV format can be linked [or save_as] into a XLS file where you format it as you like...

        thank you very much TIG.
        for Extrusion Tool Set, i've learnt and succeed using the EEbyRail 😄
        it works great as if a wizard made it 😛
        thank you

          Hi TIG, thanks for the great plugin, now I can count my plants easily and sum plant areas easily.

          But would it be possible to add the ability to get length of curves (arcs and splines) and lines from components?

          Often I have many hedges in my designs, and if I could get their length, I could send this out with the report to Excel and then divide hedge length by plants per metre. I accept I will probably have to have a curve length for the hedge in a separate component but that's fine, although maybe it could just be as a nested instance.

            This tool was really written as a demonstration of how you can extract information from the model into CSV files etc.
            As you probably already know selected lines/curves report their total length in the Entity Info dialog.
            It's easy enough to sum the lengths of edges and report it out.
            If you give a 'little more flesh to your bones' I can perhaps guide you on how to do this...

              Well here's a very typical hedge arrangement, although 100's of metres in many pieces is also quite common.

              I've also put the hedge centrelines as a nested component within each component, although if there's a way of avoiding that I'm all ears.
              Would it be easier to export the values of dimensions to the .csv?

                IF you want to use the nested component containing the linear info then you can readily add extra code into another column in the CSV. OR make a separate CSV report on linear info.
                Here's how to do it separately.
                The tool runs***, its code finds all components in the model with instances having a name containing 'hedge' and thereby their nested component giving the linear info drawn as a line or curve.
                It takes all edges in this nested component and totals their length.
                It writes a CSV listing the instance-name [e.g. 'c.hedge'], instance's-layer, definition-name, linear total [in meters]
                Sorted in order, with a header line and a total of the minear-meterage.
                Copy/paste this whole set of code into a new file [Notepad.exe] that you make in the Plugins folder named ' TIG-hedgelengths.rb'

                require 'sketchup.rb'
                module TIG
                 ###
                 unless file_loaded?(File.basename(__FILE__))

                 end
                 file_loaded(File.basename(__FILE__))

                  Thanks TIG, that's simply amazing Elegant and simple.

                  Now thanks to your plugins I've got the basis for a complete plant counter (areas, individual plants and hedges and shelterbelts - Sketchup has just become a LOT more useful), thanks again.

                    Hi Tig,
                    Great plugin - thanks. Ive used this on several jobs now and wonder if you can help me to make a few tweaks. I've been trying to use this to count components in a selection. I know that the plugin exports 3 csv documents and was wondering if you can help me to tailor the script to get the count Im after - Im afraid Im a total noob to Ruby but am more than happy to have a play with it if you can offer a little advice.

                    Id like to be able to generate a count for eithera whole model or for a selection within the model. I know that the script already generates a count for a selection but I'd like to be able to summarize items with the same name -giving me a total number.

                    I also wonder if its possible to only display the component name and the count and none of the other information (guid, description, material etc). Im trying to reduce the amount of work I need to do to tidy up the csv files that are generated.

                    Ive been playing with this whenever I get some spare time but would love a little advice.

                    Any help much appreciated.

                    Thanks

                          Unfortunately I am having errors in counts for nested components...
                          example...
                          3 component 1 in model
                          1 component 2 inside component 1...

                          Report returns 3 counts of 1 and 1 count of 2 in stead of 3 counts of 1 and 3 counts of 2

                          Counts in instances report are correct.

                            There ARE 3 instances of compo1.
                            There IS 1 instance of compo2.
                            You might 'see' 3 of compo2, but these are actually three representations on the same object.
                            The different reporting formats are a way of covering various bases...

                            If you want it to somehow report things differently, then rework the code as you wish...
                            It is 'open source' after all... 😒

                              TIG,

                              This is similar to a problem I am having. I want to call up the running length of walls at base (where Y axis would be zero, and which would exclude door openings)or ceiling (which would give total lengths for molding etc). Is it possible to convert the above reporting script into a DCfunction in much the same way as you had created the DCvolume function? You may need specific functions that would take only the sum of lengths of the edges of the outer or inner faces of the wall at the base(ie excluding doors) and at the ceiling (which would include door openings).

                                It wouldn't be so easy...

                                BUT you can write any custom function you like to add to a DC...

                                So let's say you want the perimeter of all faces that have a normal==Z_AXIS.reverse [facing down - i,e, the bottom of a ceiling slab] inside a DC you do something like:

                                require('sketchup')
                                require('dynamiccomponents.rb')
                                if defined?($dc_observers)
                                  # Open Dynamic Component Functions (V1) class, only if DC extension is active
                                class DCFunctionsV1
                                 protected
                                 # return the perimeter (in inches) of face.normal==Z_AXIS.reverse
                                 if not DCFunctionsV1.method_defined?(;perimeter)
                                  def perimeter(a) # Usage as DC function; =perimeter()
                                	se = @source_entity
                                	if se.is_a?(Sketchup;;Group)
                                		allfaces = se.entities.grep(Sketchup;;Face)
                                	else #component-instance
                                		allfaces = se.definition.entities.grep(Sketchup;;Face)
                                	end

                                This takes no notice of any scaling applied to the DC object, reporting the original perimeter...

                                      Here's a version that might do what you want or be adapted easily...[attachment=0:28vg1yda]<!-- ia0 -->TIG-exportDCs2csv.rb<!-- ia0 -->/attachment:28vg1yda TIG 2011
                                      Script:
                                      TIG-exportDCs2csv.rb
                                      Type:
                                      TIG.exportDCs2csv
                                      in the Ruby Console to run it.
                                      Exports all DCs is the model with a Name,LenX,LenY,LenZ,Layer[s]...
                                      'CSV' file - in the model's folder and named after the model thus:
                                      ModelName.skp >>> ModelNameDCs.csv
                                      If a new model is unsaved the current directory receives the new file.
                                      All Layers used in the DC are listed by name and visible ones marked
                                      thus >>LayerName<<
                                      Edit sep="," if something other than separating comma is desired e.g. ';'
                                      Make sep="\t" if a TSV file is desired and change ext="csv" to ext="tsv".
                                      It uses the current Model Units.
                                      Version:

                                        Do you have ',' set as your decimal-separator, instead of '.' ?
                                        This might cause issues ??

                                          I did 2 tests

                                          1. drawing from scratch, I think the componet, add option LenX leny, lenz, the report is generated normally.

                                          2. If this same component attributes modify a component value (eg 10 cm to 20 cm lenz), then display the error of failing to convert ...

                                          thanks

                                          pd. I have a component I created and I'm doubling, changing their values ​​to create furniture.
                                          This report would be a solution to export cuts grain orientation panel

                                            With separator "," error occurs.
                                            With separator "." export the file, but does not make mm

                                            As coidgo would have to call from the menu?

                                            It would be so?

                                            require 'sketchup.rb'

                                            UI.menu("PlugIns").add_item("Tig Export") {
