Mar 20, 2012:Add function exporting CSV.and add new items in list.Area of surface and Width,Height,Depth.
Width is the length about X Axis in component.So Width means the length of the element made with Building structure tool.
Mar 21, 2012:Bugfix about aborting because getting size of Component.
Apl 05,2012:version2.0a:Add Estimate cost reporter.and Improve functions.
Apl 08,2012:version2.0b:Improve and bugfix.
Sep 05,2012:Version2.0d:Bugfix:Surface area calculated double,when that face do not have back-material.And mistaked about units when report rendered in webdialog.

@unknownuser said:

"Cost" in Subtotal was incorrect.it fixed.
Overrided material by component/group is effective to quantify now.
Improve displaying for watcher.

Sep 27,2012:Version2.2:Add Changing Units in report.
Oct 28,2012:Version2.3:Add option switch of quantifying each component definition.and improve.
v2.3:Small improve.
V2.41:Apr 28,2013.:Version2.4:Add Short/Full report for Webdialog.
Bug fix about surface area in scaled component.
Including area of back_face material.
deal with instance name as priority to definition name when the name applied to instance.
Small Improve:Report with the model includes no solid.
v2.4.2:May 16,2013:Modify for Sketchup Extension Class.
And Add showing charts with Javascript InfoVis tool kit.(http://philogb.github.io/jit/)
V2.4.2 New function "SHOW CHART" video.
v2.4.3 Small BugFix.
v2.5.0 Bugfix:Calculate correctly volume of the solid in scaled group.
V2.5.1 bug fix .

Please erase older version when new version is copied to plugin folder.

Seems very useful!

Nice plugin. It would be nice if the "cu" was in the same units at the model. I tried to look at the code and change the output to cu/in. However, I just couldn't figure it out.

Anyway, thanks for the plugin.

Hi,Pilou and Ken.
I am glad that good evaluation from you.
I add "cu" in quantify list.
Thanks

Thank you for the update. The column of cu/in helps a great deal.

Excellent plugin. I am amazed at what you accomplished in under 200 lines of Ruby.

One thing I would love to see is support for layers. For example in my model all of the wood framing, concrete beams and insulation are on separate layers. It would be great if I could have the option to see the list broken down by layers. As a temporary fix I modified your script on line 16 like so:

pents.each{|ent|
  if ent.layer.visible?

This way I can toggle the layer I want and get estimates JUST for that material. Still trying to figure out how to break down by layer as I familiarize myself with SU API, any help there would be appreciated

Another small detail is the size of the window. Right now its way too small (100x100) and I have to keep opening it each time I run the plugin. I fixed this on my own copy by changing line 158 to:

UI;;WebDialog.new("SOLID QUANTIFY", true, "SOLID_QUANTIFY", 800, 800, 150, 150, true)

That's about it. Thanks for sharing this plugin with us!

Ok so after further digging I see what you were trying to accomplish with grouping by materials. Unfortunately you chose to use your own custom attributes which will make this grouping meaningless to most people. I am currently rewriting some of this to suit my own needs - I will post here when complete but its definitely not a one-size-fits-all solution since I dont have the time to customize it for every use case.

Hi stevendaniels.
I update this with your proposal.
The Nice proposal for this plugin ,It welcome to me and everyone.

Thanks.

Great plugin. Would it be possible to get the output to a CSV file. This type of file could be imported into a xcel spreadsheet.

If not, still a great plugin.

Thank you

Hi,Ken.
I think so ,too.
by the way,if you have intalled excel,perhaps the Table in the browser can be exported with pulldown menu.

In future I will change script to export CSV.
But exporting schema is not enough consideration.

Thanks.

Hi
I updated "Solid Quantify".
Add new function for export XML SpreadSheet.
It could be read with application like excel.

Thanks.

ZFRPS

Dear Tak2hata:

exporting XML
Now ,only volume exporting XML,when "area","length","piece" all exporting XML,very nice!
length of section bar (group)....or length of lines-group...
area of faces that TBN To Be Nominated inside group...
piece of components ....

However,YOU are great man for BIM,I love you!

tak2hata

Hi,
I update in mar 20,2012.

zfrps...
Yout suggestion is good.
I think piece of components could be found in model info window.

Thanks.

ZFRPS

Tak2hata:
I think only piece of components could be found in model info window not enough,need exporting XML for budgetary price of project,your plugin is good,hope it change to better powerful.

look here:
amount:200001,this very good,Generate report amount 5000 around inide of sketchup and very very slow,so I enjoy your plugin and love you !

Hi,zfrps.
Model info window is this.
[attachment=0:q0rl3znq]sketchup_model_info_window_statics.JPG[/attachment:q0rl3znq]
It shows piece of component.
The budgetary price of project is important.
I will add fucntion to manage cost of materials.
I am still inquiring.

Thanks.

Model info window

ZFRPS

Dear Tak2hata:
About It shows piece of component in Model info window ,this is not enough,because budgetary number need XML or EXCEL,Can you copy components number out to XML or EXCEL From MODEL INFO?
In XML,not that every last Group or Component all need volume, area, length, piece,
All Components only piece
Partial Groups only length...For example:Angle iron,steel tube,pipe, and other section bar.
Partial Groups only volume...For example:concrete...
Partial Groups only area...For example:coating of wall;flooring tileon ground...notice:area of faces only that is to be Nominated inside groups,not all faces inside groups.

Budgetary number is important a Part for BIM of project,in project,various material number is multifarious and disorderly,so all need exporting to XML or EXCEL.

This things for BIM of sketchup,Expect Tak2hata and everybody substantial support.

Thanks again!

Hi,zfrps.
Component counts will be solved with "component reporter+.rb"
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=1524#p6682.

Budgetary pricing is important for quantify.
It will be goal of this plugin.
The setting of schema about Budgetary pricing list is needed.
I will try it nearly future.
Thanks.

Hi ,
I update this tool in apr 05,2012.
Add new functios.

Enjoy!

Always astonishing!
