Generating Cost Report

Hi,
If you use the en-US version of SU, your example.strings file is in the ...\Resources\en-US\ folder.
Attached is a non-translated version of this file with the new strings added. Overwrite your examples.strings file with this one, re-start SU and it should work?
Best,

Great Didier.....I got it working at last.....is it possible to add SEK in currency and perhaps also assign estimate to group/groups & components.....just to get an overall Estimate for the project........and can I save the content in Vality Check
A lot of questions but it seems a great plugin for Cost etsimationRegards

What's that ? a file format, an app ?I'll see what I can do for components estimation.
SEK isn't a problem (I didn't figure out that Sweden wasn't in the 'euro zone'). Stay tuned
-
After you have Assigned Estimate ti Material you can open Assign Estimate PER Material and then there's a palette named 'Validity Check'....seems to contain all ralavant info for Materials in the rollout in Cost by Material.....by the way why are all material from 'black to <Carchoal> listed if they not been assigned a cost?
-
Hi,
This new script doesn't list materials that don't have a price/m2 anymore.
There was a typo in the menu too, that is fixed.
It also adds an option to assign a component a price, and an option to estimate the total price per component and the global total for all instancied components.
SEK has been added and becomes the default currency.
Beware to overwrite your previous examples.strings file with this one (several strings added in it).
Regards,

Merci bien Didier.......I'll take up French one of these days

Very interesting....I have to take up Ruby programming.....could you assign costs to diferent layers.....if you, par example, draw a small building and separating interial and exterial walls to different layers and then attach different materials to the walls you could end up with a cost estimate for the whole building......if one could set different prices to different components as for now it's the last price in for all....what editor do you use?

Hello.......any good book for trying learning Ruby scripts......

And it's in the Developers Forum, that's where we duscuss Ruby Programming for Sketchup.

That's the case now, you can assign a different price for each component.

Notepad++ (can be downloaded here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/)
With the Ruby color syntaxing and the Sketchup-API-Ruby auto-completion it's a must-have IMHO.@unknownuser said:

Automatic SketchUp here: http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/automatic_SketchUp.php (smooth learning curve)
@unknownuser said:

Not for now but it's a good idea. Maybe a 'learning/training' exercice for you ?
I've just published the latest version of the script here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=35181
You can export the results to a CSV file and open it directly in Excel.
There's a readme for install instructions.Best regards,

Sorry Dan.....I was just finishing my argueing with Didier with a slightly different question.......
-
Thanks a lot Didier....now I have to study for some weeks/months to come......first learning it....then showing it to 'my' Upper Secondary Shool for students in some Building classes to use.....then explaining to the students why it's almost impossible to fully automate the process....
