SJ Add DC Attribute is a plugin for Sketchup that allows you to create or modify one or more attributes common to a selection of groups or components.

This video shows you how to duplicate an existing attribute in a component, and create it on a selection of groups or component that did not have this attribute.

Hey
I use Profile Builder 3

I draw the element in the direction of the red line
I cut the element with the section tool
After that, I use Add DC to add an attribute
The element turns, in the direction of the green line.

But
... If I draw the PB3 element in the direction of the green line, the element does not rotate.

But ++
I normally draw a group or component
The program works flawlessly

The program is useful and I found many uses for it.
I hope there is a solution to this

thank you

Hi Simon! I recently discovered you plugin and it's brilliant!!! Thanks a lot!
Although I'd like to suggest you a couple upgrades, to improve usability even more.

First thing, the possibility to save a set of favourite attributes to be used in other skp models. This is very convenient when you have a set of fixed attributes you always want to load for any of your components. Could be useful to name the set so the plugin can load the relative attributes
Second thing: the possibility to add to the selection a set of attributes (the thing we saved at step 1) so that the plugin can import a number of attributes without having to manually select them one by one.

Tell me what you think! Thanks again a lot!

Hello Pibuz

I am delighted to read that this plugin is useful to you!
Your suggestions join the evolution plan of the plugin for the next major version. With the introduction of group of favorites:

The import-export of its groups.
One-click addition of an attribute group to a selection.

We will have to be a little patient, but this is a reasonable objective.
In the meantime, I'm counting on you to promote the plugin, and buy me a coffee!

Have a nice week end

Good evening
To create a new attribute or edit an existing attribute:
Select an existing attribute in one of the lists (Attribute of a component of the selection, or an attribute placed in favorites, or an attribute of the list to create, modify) or create it from scratch.
Once the values have been entered, it must be added to the list of attributes to create/modify. The attribute appears in the list, in case of duplicate an error message appears asking you for confirmation before overwriting the existing one.
At this point, nothing is changed in the components of the selection. It is only after clicking on the button create the attributes of the list that the components will receive the new attribute or its new values in case of modification. You can thus create several attributes at once.

Salut simjoubert,
i think your plughin is very very good, I will use it for shure,
my wish would be that you add a funktionality not only to add new attributes with new values or strings, but also change existing strings or values in existing attributes, that would be really nice for me.
A second thing would be nice: Add the possibility to assign a sequential number additionaly to the text, perhaps like String&seyuentialnumber---> perhaps EL_1 ...EL_2...EL_3 and so on

Si vous le souhaitez, je peux vous aider à traduire en allemand...
Cordialement
