Excel to SU ( 29/7/08 version )
-
Have you thought about programming platform independent? Maybe the roo library could help. Because it also can handle OpenOffice documents.

With .csv or .tsv [comma or tab separated variable] files these are readable in Excel and many other applications. It's also easier to export from SUp via Ruby with these..

Thanks Azuby & TIG ! The library is useful for me.
By the way, the 29/7/08 ver. is out. We can call this script from the "Draw menu->Oscar->ex2sk" or the "ex2sk" button from the toolbar. This script will read the data of the excel file & draw boxes according to the qty, depth, width, height or Area from the data, then organized those boxes under their groups respectively!
Anybody found this script is useful, please?

Dear Oscarlok,
If I remember correctly, you were working on a method of editing dimensions. Have you completed that plugin, and could it be modified to include parametric dimensioning? For example, you might want one dimension to be equal to another, so that changing one changes both.
Kind regards,

This is a great ruby.
We often need to create graphic representations of building programs for clients prior to doing the design. This helps everyone understand the sizes of the different elements.
I look forward to this ruby development.

Please have a look at http://sites.google.com/site/namesets/. It seems we have similar intentions. Perhaps there are areas for collaboration - Namesets (in lieu Excel) to SU for example? Namesets are made with html and javascripts - the devices and lists can be made and used by anyone. Namesets can perform within Sketchup web dialogs (as plugins).

BobHi Bob,
The script is half way done!
Actually, it is a part of the script of OSCarcase.rb
And I am doing my old script(OSCarcase.rb) now.Regards

Mark P.Hi Mark P.
May I know that what else this ruby can be developed, please?
I would like to understand the procedure of your work by using SU since I am not in the architect line.
Any ideal are welcome!

Hi Chris,
Namesets is a good script!

Very kind, thanks. But you know it is more than a script; it is a different way of working, the technology for which is largely funded like this:

Perhaps there are areas for collaborationWhat I was thinking here was that so far Namesets move from Javascript to Sketchup. This means anyone who has a browser can use them (with Sketchup, as a kind of remote control). But there are others, particularly forum members, who prefer to work directly in the Sketchup interface, in which case it would make sense to have VCP input or calculated data to move from Sketchup to Javascript.
And I do not have the skill nor inclination to broach that! Although I will happily support it. Let me know what you think ...

HI Oscar!
Great to see you revive this baby... I check back every few days just for this, and to see if Didier has come up with the miracle of follow-me tool for lines.So I have d/l'd and installed your plugin, but did not yet get to try it... hopefully I will try it in depth and send you feedback very soon. This is a critically important ruby for architects like me - so I hope I can help you.
Thanks again for posting. I will respond properly as soon as I can!

Hello,
Nice work.
I have a problem which I think might be solved using your plugin. I need to model some boxes. The centerpoint of their bottoms lie in a line and I have measured distance from this centerpoint to 5 walls. Then I put this into excel and I´m able to find coordinates of border points of these boxes. And my question is: How (if at all) can I use your plugin to model these boxes from 8 coordinates?Thanks.

Hello Coulteri,
Do you have any example of sketchup and excel files, please?
Thanks

Hi Oscar,
Thanks for uploading this Ruby!
I can see great potential with it in architecture. I have been looking for a script that will allow me to take data (say the area of part of a building in square meters) from an excel sheet and translate it to a circle of the same area in Sketchup.
Your ruby loads in sketchup but it only opens excel. Would you be able to tell me how to make the ruby open the actual spreadsheet?
Thanks,
Dean

Oscar,
Thanks for setting this up. I have tried to edit your original SS to my needs but I somehow think you have the script tied to the specific cell addresses (i.e. Row 12, Column Q). I would like to create my own list but each time I mod the original SS it ceases working. It also does not read the count of the items and just places three of each in the scene.

Can someone help with this script? We could use this for architectural programming tasks. Thanks in advance.

The "proverbial" we, meaning anyone who uses SketchUp in a programming environment.
