      Hello, guys.
      Finally I've a first post.
      Fredo, thanks a lot for your tooling! It really helps!
      My question is on exReportArea principle, that I'd like to turn to my needs. I used ReportArea (now ReportLabelArea) for the interior design. It works great. And I just checked this new one.
      I'm not a Ruby pro, and maybe you should send me to the Ruby forum section. Now I'd like use SU as a mass-modeling tool, and it seems to me there's no simple plugin to do it (if there is one, please, post a link!). Revit or ArchiCAD methods sometimes are a bit clumsy in mass-modeling. And the cost isn't nice for a such simple task.
      What I'd like to get a data structure in csv from SU model is as follows:

      • group
        -- name
        -- material area (e.g. 3 mats = 3 area values)
        -- layer
        -- volume
        -- etc

      The data structure appears to be an hierarchical one, because I'd like to get the parameters of each group/component from my model. Materials and naming are the core of the way of information mgmt I use within SU.
      Almost the same for a Component. Actually if I get a long unformatted list of data, I could sort it in Excel.
      Now I have no idea which code pattern to use -could you guide here? Any advices, links? I bought last week a brand-new book by Alex Schreyer, but it didn't help me.
      Thanks in advance!

        Just a note of thanks, Fredo, for a typically powerful multifaceted, super-documented and pleasing to behold tool-set. If I could master your tools alone, I would consider that quite a worthwhile accomplishment.

          Thanks very much for the encouraging appreciation. This one came from a user request some time ago. It's a little bit complex because there are many options and situations where only the user can decide (like selecting a face, a surface or a component). So I have to leave the options open and provide some documentation.

            Hello everyone,

            I was trying to generate my first report on areas from a project I have and I came across this question.

            Is it possible to report the area of a face minus the hole cutting component's areas attached to the face?

            http://www.casca.pt/varios/reportonareas.jpg

            The entity info window reports them but I didn't find a way to do that on this tool.

            Thank you fredo for all the unbelieveable tools... box stretching... perfect!

                NEW RELEASE: ReportLabelArea 2.1a - 09 Jul 15

                ReportLabelArea 2.1a fixes a problem related to glued components on faces. Now, for glued components in Cut opening mode, the contact area of theopening is deducted from the area of the face.

                See main post of this thread for more information.

                  This update is fantastic Fredo. This issue with glued components was the only thing keeping me from using it! Thank you very much!

                    HI Fredo,
                    Great tool concept! - this really improves things for those of us who create Site Plans in Sketchup.

                    But I'm having trouble using the Label Areas function.

                    I have selected a number of faces, and the areas are being reported when I hover over each one, as well as the total area of all faces. However, the area labels (text tags?) are not appearing when I click "Label Areas".
                    I checked layer visibility. Is there something else I can try?

                    If you can sort this out for me I will give you a nice big donation πŸ˜„

                    Thanks!

                      You need to:

                      • Click and drag to place the label
                      • or double-click to have the label appears without lead line

                      Fredo

                        Dear Fredo,

                        your tools are fantastic, as you probably know. They are like the knifes from Switzerland.

                        One small question:
                        Trying to export an CSV file, I get a message: "Error in generation of CSV file".
                        Any idea ?

                        Best

                                    Annotation 2020-03-17 175806.pngI have a problem with the latest version where the HTML table is collapsed.
                                    I can only read the 1x line at the time. (See screenshot)
                                    The only option is to export the report as a CSV in order to be able to read it.

                                        Yes, I can resize the window but the table stays collapsed.

                                          I don't even know if you are on Windows or Mac, which version of Sketchup.

                                          A screenshot would also help.
