[Plugin] FredoTools::ReportLabelArea - v3.2a - 05 Feb 20

fredo6

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?

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!

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

Thanks!

You need to:

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

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 ?

Annotation 2020-03-17 175806.png I 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.
