      Hi

      I often use Sketchup to sketch floorplans. In this process the walls are often moved alot (as you all probably know). What could be usefull here is a area script.

      What the script should do:

      • one add a face block in a layer called, let's say '0A Areas'
      • the script then adds a text in the centre of this face, contains the name of the block and the area of the face, the text should be in a different layer, so it is possible to turn off the areas layer

      Does anyone know if there is any script that exists or could be modified to do this ?
      What do you think of the idea ?

      Thanks

        I think such a script would be even more useful if the area(s) blocks(s) (one per room) will be automatically updated when the face of the floor changes, via an observer mechanism ๐Ÿ’ญ

          Absolutely - and if the face can generated automatic ๐Ÿ˜„

          I'm not sure if it is needed that the floor and walls are connected - I usely keep those seperated....

            There was an area script written some time ago, but I can't remember the name or the author (TBD maybe?). It updated when you made changes, but was far from perfect. I cannot find in on my system anymore. It was not fully developed but showed great promise. Maybe someone else can remember it.
