            @ll: wow ... nice features, but in the old get_dimensions.rb by 'CptanPanic' its possible to get the area in m² and the volume m³.

            area = dims[2].to_m * dims[1].to_m volume = dims[2].to_m * dims[1].to_m * dims[0].to_m

            does anyone put that feature in rb-scripts here?

            sorry for the bad english.

            thx so far and best regards
            a.

                It has an entry in the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=jf_get_dimensions
                So you can get it as an RBZ archive for auto-installation.
                Manually installing RB files can be risky.
                Also note that this script is five years old and much has changed in SketchUp since then - however, simple well written older scripts like this can often work across many versions...
                Almost all scripts are now available in RBZ format making installation less fraught if you have >= v8M2...

                  Is it possible to rewrite the plugin to make it installable from sketchup plugin center?
                  Is it possible to make it look different - more modern, not as ugly popup window,
                  for example: show in window dimensions (as we made height depth lenght measurement tool) and make the plugin 'active' or 'not active' so that every model i click shows its dimensions?
                  Anyway, great tool, grats!

                    It's already available in the Sketchucation Plugin Store. What more do you need? 😒

                    Get the SCF Plugin Store extension and use it to install this plugin or just download the .rbz file and use Install Extension.

                          Greetings.

                          Alas it does not work with SU 2017 as far as I experience.
                          Should it be any equivalent or a version of that plugin for 2017 release?

                          Thank t=you in advance

                            What do you mean it doesn't work? I've been using Jim's Get Dimensions all along and it works just fine for me.

                            In fact, here's an example I made just now with SketchUp 2017.

                                You can either install the RB file manually or get the RBZ version here and use Install Extension or better, install the Sketchucation Extension Store tool and use it to automatically install the plugins and extensions host here on Sketchucation.

                                    It seems that Jim has removed most if not all of his plugins.

                                      hi there together,

                                      is there a working version of the plugin? or any alternative? because it seems its still gone from the extension store and sketchucation store 😕

                                        As I wrote back in April of last year, Jim has withdrawn his extensions and plugins and they aren't available anymore. Get Dimensions was a useful one for me but I've not seen a similar one by any other author.
