[Plugin] AreaTextTag
-
If the chosen font has no superscript 2 '²' it won't be shown.
What font is used?
Do you get one with other fonts [use the Settings dialog to adjust various aspects of the AreaText tags] ?
It might be your Chinese OS ?
Do you get any error messages in the Ruby Console [I'd expect not, because 3dText simply skips over missing characters in a font's collection].
If you copy paste this [1.23 m²] into the native 3dText tool's pane, for the same font [Arial?] what gets made ? Does the final '²' appear or not ??
This is what my Arial-Font AreaText tag looks like...

I choose Times New Roman, but the display unit does not

Have you tried my copy/paste suggestion using the native 3dText tool ?

Paste the local, show normal

It works fine for our western PCs?
As a temporary fix...
Edit the main .rb file inside this tool's subfolder using Notepad.exe.
Find the 4 occurrences of the text
.gsub(/2/,"²")
and change it to read
.gsub(/2/,"2")
then you will get
1.23 m2
instead of the intended [but failing]
1.23 m²
which whilst not perfect it is better.
If you would prefer
1.23 m^2
then change the replacement text
.gsub(/2/,"2")
to be
.gsub(/2/,"^2") -
Thank you, of TIG: has been resolved, thanks again!

got it, thanks share

hi, was wondering if this plugin will / could, extract or copy an atrribute's value, when inserted into a block with attributes?
-
It reports the area of the face it's 'attached' to.
The face/tag need to be in the same context.
It doesn't 'report attributes'.
There are other tools that do that, but you need to be somewhat clearer in your question... -
Thank you, I am finding all of this really helpful.
I searched through the chain and don't think that this has been addressed yet. I am wondering if it is possible to input two text entries per tag. For example, "room #" and "department" both associated with the same square footage, so when exported, you have two text columns per sf which can be sorted accordingly.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Would it be possible to select and group a number of faces and give a tag that relates to the total surface area of all selected faces?In addition, would it be possible to produce a similar ruby that totals up the lengths of selected lines/junctions? (not necessarily the perimeter of a face)...this would be icing on the cake for me
Thanks

Hi TIG
Firstly, great plug in - thank you for that
It seems to crash my SU 2015 (Mac version)when installed alongside Twilight renderer.
I have just uninstalled Twilight and everything is cool again.Just thought i'd report the clash in case anyone else has the same problem or if you can fix?

Hi TIG
Firstly - great plugin - thank you for this
Just discovered on SU 2015 on my Mac, that it crashed SU if Twilight is installed at the same time
Don't know if you can fix?

Hi tig,
Thank you for this Tag plugin.I modified it quite deeply to make it easier.
Could you give me your mail so that i can send it to you.I would appreciate some critics because i'm not a programmer (but architect) and the way i program is dirty.

Hello Tig,
these Area Tex Tags are great - thanks for offering this plugin.
After installing SU 2017 they won`t work anymore and I am in trouble.
Do you have a chance to look into this ?
Thanks already

The error in the Ruby Console tells the story.
Unfortunately v2017 looses earlier references set to the contents of a group, e.g. when it's exploded, so the code fails, I'm currently fixing this weirdness in my ExtrudeTools...
However, it might be some other Ruby2.2 foible...
I'll look into this tool asap...
