SU 2016 Generate Report
-
I see. It's not so much that it shows the quantity as 1 but that it lists each component instance separately. Hmmm....
-
Exactly
Bizarre functionality right?
-
Yeah. I've not looked at this all that closely because I don't really need the capability for the work I do. I guess it's time to investigate, though.
-
I can definitely see the power that the Sketchup team has put into the reporting tool - maybe just needs a little polishing.
-
with regards to reporting components, etc., you might find Estimator for SketchUp useful http://estimatorforsketchup.com
I needed a reporting solution and estimating system for my SketchUp models (as a home builder) so I created one to fill that void. We are offering premium members a 20% discount if interested (just started advertising on this site and will have the discount code posted soon) - not wanting to sound like a salesman, just offering a potential solution to check out, I know I was frustrated with the internal reporting capabilities natively in SU. My email address is john@estimatorforsketchup if you have any questions or need the promo code. -

John, there's absolutely no reason to be apologetic about creating a product that addresses a need and then making people aware of it. I hope you have some good sales!

Thank you!

In response to your problem with quantities. I had an issue where I used lots of instances of a component and many of the components had qty 1 and seemed to be duplicated. What caused this for me was that the instances of the components had different scales. So each unique scale created a new row in the report. This might be something that happens for all instances with different attributes (layers, name, etc?). Maybe it's something to look into? If you create a report and output all attributes, you might be able to spot the attribute that is differing for each instance.
-
Tommy, that is interesting although in the model I was using to check that, none of the instances had been scaled.
-
Yeah im pretty confident that scaling is not the cause of the multiple instances...

I can make diffrence templates and run like in this video.
But how can i "export" these templates to run in another .skp file?
Does anyone know how, please help me,
Thanks
