      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
        	faces=[]
        	allfaces.each{|face| faces << face if face.normal==Z_AXIS.reverse }
        	tr = se.transformation
        	xs = tr.xscale #***
        	ys = tr.yscale #***
        	peri = 0.0
        	faces.each{|face|
        		tlen = 0.0
        		face.outer_loop.edges.each{|e|
        			elen = e.length # this is an unscaled length
        			slen = elen*(1) #*** adjust for any X/Y scaling in (1) if needed ?
        			tlen += slen
        		}
        		peri += tlen
        	}
            return peri
          end
         end 
        end#class
        end#if
        

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

            I only need The only modification I would like this plugin would measure diagonal objects properly, instead of bounding box ... and to work with groups also...

              '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

              I was unable to generate the report. My model is in decimal> millimeters.
              The dynamic component is in cm. Can you tell me what the problem is.

              (This returns ruby console)

                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") {
                    exportDCs2csv
                    }

                      The units are probably arriving in SketchUp base units == inches.
                      So either multiply your columns in Excel by 25.4 to make mm OR when you a 'length' in inches do something like
                      sprintf("%.1f", length.to_mm)
                      so 1.0" >> 25.4 ?

                        the ComponentReporter + + plugins I reported in mm but axes x, y, z
                        You could modify this plugin to me that report LenX leny, lenz,(dynamic attributes)+ material, definition, of what is selected?
                        in one csv.

                        Thanks again, my knowledge of programming are very beginner

                                Hi TIG - Love the plugin! I just recently stumbled on this page and it has been super useful tracking my work! I was wondering if you had the time to help me make a slight tweak? Basically, I want to tidy up the parentage report to display nested components in a more intuitive way similar to the sketchup outliner?. Hopefully the attached image makes sense: It shows only the counts of of instances, and also puts the them to the right of its parent component. This way, I can visually track the hierarchy.

                                If you have the time, I'd really appreciate the help given that I am not versed in ruby.

                                Thank you very much!

                                  Hi TIG, Thank you so much for your powerful script. I'm using it to do my construction schedules. It helps me a lot. Could you please add a modification that allow me to get volume numbers for components? (my components are solid ready). I don't have much Ruby knowledge and was failed to do it my self.

                                    Edit the file with Notepad++...
                                    Around line #149 you can see the 'area' code.
                                    You need to add some similar 'volume' code near that, like this:

                                    volume=0.0
                                    volume=c.volume if c.volume > 0
                                    # it's always in cu" - to make into something else use a conversion factor like this for cu metres;
                                    volume=volume*0.000016387064
                                    # convert it into a string
                                    volume=volume.to_s.tr(",",".")### trap for comma as decimal point...
                                    # edit line ~ # 166 [remember that it will have shifted down after you entered the new volume code !]
                                    ilist.push([dname,iname,lname,cname,id,x,y,z,pname,area,areas].flatten!)
                                    # to include volume...
                                    ilist.push([dname,iname,lname,cname,id,x,y,z,pname,area,areas,volume].flatten!)
                                    # edits the lines making the header text ~ # 178
                                    file.puts("DEFN-NAME,PARENT[NAME<TYPE>],INST-NAME,LAYER,MATERIAL,ID,X,Y,Z,AREA,SUB-MAT-AREAS\n\n")if miner
                                    file.puts("DEFN-NAME,INST-NAME,LAYER,MATERIAL,ID,X,Y,Z,AREA,SUB-MAT-AREAS\n\n")if not miner

                                    file.puts("DEFN-NAME,PARENT[NAME<TYPE>],INST-NAME,LAYER,MATERIAL,ID,X,Y,Z,AREA,SUB-MAT-AREAS,VOLUME\n\n")if miner
                                    file.puts("DEFN-NAME,INST-NAME,LAYER,MATERIAL,ID,X,Y,Z,AREA,SUB-MAT-AREAS,VOLUME\n\n")if not miner
                                    # now edit the code around lines ~ #

                                      Thanks TIG so much for spending time with my case. Your help make it works perfectly. I've learned many many of Ruby language with your code.

                                        Hello TIG
                                        thank you for your time with this plugin.

                                        do you think it is possible to list dynamic components and their LenX, LenY, LenZ that are inside another dynamic component?

                                            This is somewhat more complex...
                                            Why not post a similar request in the DC forum ?
