        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")

              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

                    Graham

                      Hello TIG
                      Great script !!
                      Since I am always short in space it would be of great help if it would we possible to have 2-line Text-Tags for instance :

                      Entrance
                      30 m²

                      alignment options

                      • Left
                        Right
                        Center
                        Thanks for looking into it
                        Uli

                        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?

                          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...

                                          Here's v2.0.
                                          http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_AreaTextTag
                                          It is now compatible with v2017's newest Ruby.
                                          Users with unsupported versions like v8 are advised not to update as it might now cause issues...
