So, nobody knows a way to use all this data that we can put in an dynamic component? I tried with Generate report but it's useless - with 60-70 components it freezes SketchUP and the report is a real mess! I think this attributes can be a shortest way to have some BOM inside SketchUP!

I'm keep on searching for a solution and found this - http://code.google.com/intl/bg/apis/sketchup/docs/tutorial_attrreporting.html

But getting error when trying to load it:

There's an error in that published script !
I suspect that

value = value.gsub(/\"/,'"')
value = value.gsub(/\'/,''')
return value

should be

value = value.gsub(/\"/,'"')
value = value.gsub(/\'/,'"')
return value

around line #159..............

Well TIG, I am not a coder but to my eyes, the two sniplets look exactly alike.

Edit; found the difference!

TIG

' ' ' >> ' " '
One 'character' is all it takes to **** up a script -
is there quality control at Google ???

SketchUP's Generate Report freezes the program just at 1 components

But this script is working fine so far!!

dedmin

Now, that at least we can extract some data is there a way to filtered it. For instance to get components quantity and

Up.

I found a way to convert the inches, but the problem with counting components still remain. Any idea how to include this into the report?

dedmin

Still hoping...

TIG

Since your example is written in 'Cyrillic' [?] it's hard to understand... Ddo you find the details of a component and also want to show a total number of it in the report - like on the Entity Info window ?
You need to find its definition and then its instances and count them, the format the html/csv to include the 'count' - something like...

ss=model.selection
ents=ss.to_a
### OR ents=model.entities
### OR ents=model.active_entities
defns=[] ### to become a list of used definitions
ents.each{|e|
  if e.class==Sketchup;;ComponentInstance
    defns<< e.definition if not defns.include?(e.definition)
  end#if
}
counts=[] ### to become a collection of definitions [by name] and their instance counts [as a string]
defns.each[|d|
  counts<< [d.name, d.instances.length.to_s]
}

note it's untested!
You now have an array of selected [or all used] definitions by name, paired with the total of their instances....
So to output it to the Ruby Console use something like...

counts.each{|e|
  puts e[0]+"\t"+e[1]
}

I'll leave the formating of the csv / html lines etc to you or others.............

Thanks so much! I made a component in English to show what I mean:

The report is a real mess and in inches, but I managed to clean it up in Excel.

TIG

So you are almost sorted

I did need a plugin to creat a simple list of components with: LenX, LenZ, LenY, Material, and Name
Not the boundinbox, because sometime in the draw the component could stay in angle different that axes.
Please need help, Could give a good Cookie to your jar.
Will use this to report list of furniture components to outside software that will calculate price.
Need SAP!

I'm thinking of creating a report writer that allows you to pick, choose and specify the order of columns in a csv report. The report definition can then be given a name that you can choose from a pick list when running subsequent reports.

Any one interested?

I'm really interested in this!
I would like to help as well but I'm a complete beginner
