RpReports

basic.woodworks

Hey Al,

Just trying to get a grasp on this ReReports PDF export. Is it for Windows Only? Does it require the additional programing to enter the additional field? That's kinda what it looks like. Or it is intuitive to the point when it will display all the components without the need to add of remove fields and sub-sections?? Have you used it often? Any possible hick-ups with it for a "simpleton" like me? This is a plug-in or independent program??

Regards,

Mike RL

Thanks Al.

Yous used the term 'Client License'

(When you purchase RpReports you also purchase the Client Licenses for your users)

The pricing in the site uses the term 'User' eg

5 user license

Are these the same thing?

In other words, if someone just wants to use the objects in a sketchup scene, do not want to alter them in any way - just get a report, do they need an RpReports 'User licence' or can they get the information in another way (using RPTools for example).

Al Hart

Yes,

You get one "OEM License" - to be used to create and test the application, and "Licenses" to be used by designer, distributors, etc. to use your library and create reports.

See: http://wiki.renderplus.com/index.php?title=RpReports_Pricing for the full pricing matrix.

Your RpReports application can include any of the RpTools features you want.

Hi Al:

About BIM of project ,I think RpReports and sketchup is very very nice more than REVIT ;ARCHICAD ,but...now RpReports can't creates EXCEL film;can't count length,area and volume of group .
if i'm an OEM Partner,I don't know how can i do this.

Because it's frist put question to you and my English no good ;thank you help me !

Thank you again!

Al Hart

RpReports outputs a .CSV file which can be read by Excel.

RpReports can use the length, width, height and z-offset of the component as attributes, and in attribute calculations, so it can calculate areas and volumes, and use them in cost calculations.

We work with out clients to help them create the data they need.

Frist thanks AL ,
you were speaked "RpReports outputs a .CSV file which can be read by Excel...",I can't found...,my idea was that RpReports no need outputs a .PDF file, only outputs a .EXCEL file.

About length;areas and volumes of group or component ,because It's important for budget of porject,now RpReports is no enough at this way.About this ...,I will talk over with you from E-mail;

Can RpReports abet Chinese? I'm wanting surrogate RpReports in China.

Al Hart

CSV file - after creating a PDF file, look in your temporary folder for a .CSV file which was created there. When we create an application for you, we can arrange to put the CSV file in a different place, and have a button to create the CSV file without creating the report, and launch a Ruby script or EXE to use the report.

Dimensions

You use width, depth, and height in the calculations field of the attributes file.

See: http://wiki.renderplus.com/index.php?title=RpReports_Customization#Substitutions

You can use the substitution codes - like %w% %d% and %h% in the calculation fields as well as the description fields.

Languages

I don't know if Chinese will work. If you can get the RpReports demonstration to work, try putting some Chinese in the attributes fields and see what happens.

first thank AL was regarded chinese in RPS;indeed it's important!

about dialog box of attributes ,I want this(see picture);

because it's no enough that only stat number of group(component) at project,

ZFRPS

**%(#0000BF)[when the value is "piece" in "units",1 is loaded in "numerical value" automaticly;

when "m" in the item of "unit" is picked,the length of the maximum edge in "group" will be loaded and fill in the item of "unmerical value";

when "m2" in the item of "unit" is picked,the area of the maximum facet in "group" will be loaded and fill in the item of "unmerical value";

when the value is "m3" in "units",the volume of "group" is loaded in "numerical value" automaticly;

after all the required input above completed,a confirm code including 8 numbers is filled in "set up password","OK" and then all the info.above wasn't modifiable ;

when the same number as "set up pw" was inputed into "amend pw","OK" and then above info. was modifiable again.]**
