[Request] - Component's options report

[Cjoenck]

I did need a plugin to creat a simple list of components with: LenX, LenZ, LenY, Material, and Name
Not the boundinbox, because sometime in the draw the component could stay in angle different that axes.
Please need help, Could give a good Cookie to your jar.
Will use this to report list of furniture components to outside software that will calculate price.
Need SAP!
Best Regards

I'm thinking of creating a report writer that allows you to pick, choose and specify the order of columns in a csv report. The report definition can then be given a name that you can choose from a pick list when running subsequent reports.

Any one interested?

I'm really interested in this!
I would like to help as well but I'm a complete beginner

If there is enough interest then I would jump into it -- otherwise this is on a back burner.

Would it also allow us to convert the columns names?

I mean, my contractors aren't much interested in LenZ, but they could very well relate to height.

Could we also Combine values?

LenX | LenY | LenZ columns, could be merged into a single Dimensions Column and each LenX, LenY and LenZ value would then turn into something like 1.5m X 2.0m X 0.005m?

EDIT: Oh and if unit conversion would be there too...

Column names would be handled by my translation layer.
You could convert English translation (which is normally just a template) to what ever you want.
Normally with my plugins I try to honor the units that the user has set up for the model.

Yes - Sketchup stores data a certain way. BUT I Am a big fan of metric - so I honor it and convert into mm.

I'm sure you'd pull off something very good...
