      Thanks for the another useful plugin. My question would be - Is it possible not to hide lines? What to change? My problem is that Scalp section style "doesn't see" tags.

        When I try to make the Report it appears this message in Ruby Console:

        Error; #<NameError; undefined local variable or method `area2ever' for TIG;;AreaTextTag;Module>

          @Oxer
          Thanks for the error report.
          Seems that that variable 'area2ever' was declared inside a {} block and not accessible later on in several circumstances !
          So it was an error waiting for a disaster for ~six years ! ...
          Anyway here is a corrected version 4.0
          http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_AreaTextTag
          PS: @srx
          Also added an extra option in the Settings to hide the Tag's text's edges [Yes|No]: defaults Yes - choosing No will show the edges [remember that if there are any existing Tags you will to use Update...]. That new Setting is remembered with each model...

                Hello TIG

                Can you help me add a Area units: "pyeong"?
                1(pyeong)=3.305785(m²)

                thanks so much

                  You'll need to do some editing of the RB file in the subfolder TIG-AreaTextTag.rb
                  Use a plain-text editor like Notepad++ or TextWrangler, with line-numbering displayed...

                  Note that this will break the signing hash, so it will only load in newer SketchUp versions if the Extension Loading Policy is set to be Unrestricted.

                  Here are the changes...
                  #nnn is the line number after which you add the new code, remember that it will change as you insert lines !
                  The @units checks assume you insert new lines of code after the "m2" ones...
                  I assume that dividing the m² value by 3.305785 turns it into 'pyeongs' ?
                  If I am wrong, then just swap the / for a *

                  #444 insert:
                  when "pyeong" area=area*0.00064516 / 3.305785 perim=perim*0.0254 punit="m"
                  You might want to change the meter perimeter too ?

                  #732 + 4 ? insert:
                  when "pyeong" area=area*0.00064516 / 3.305785 perim=perim*0.0254 punit="m"
                  You might want to change the meter perimeter too ?

                  #881 + 8 ? insert:
                  "pyeong",

                  #1079 + 9 ? insert:
                  when "pyeong" area=area*0.00064516 / 3.305785 perim=perim*0.0254 punit="m"
                  You might want to change the meter perimeter too ?

                  #1295 + 13 ? insert:
                  when "pyeong" area=area*0.00064516 / 3.305785 perim=perim*0.0254 punit="m"
                  You might want to change the meter perimeter too ?

                  #1510+ 17 ? insert:
                  when "pyeong" area=area*0.00064516 / 3.305785 perim=perim*0.0254 punit="m"
                  You might want to change the meter perimeter too ?

                    Hi Tig,

                    Thank you for this great plugin. It works fantastic.
                    Only when I use it in a slightly bigger appartmentbuilding it becomes really slow.
                    Do you have any suggestions what might be the problem?

                    Thnx

                      tig, the fact that the plugin does not report objects within groups leaves the report unused, since in sketchup we have the group of everything, imagine creating a floor report, with each room having a group.
                      That value used by the plugin to write the area, can you put it in a variable in the component? So it would be possible to create a report of everything.

                        I think that Fredo has a similar tool in FredoTools - start here https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=653927#p653927

                          Hi Tig.

                          I am looking to add a dynamic area text in a 2d layout

                          I have tested the tagging on a surfaces of a 3D model but on a flat 2d surface i get a message " Pic a face in the active entries"

                          If i raise the surface are it works.

                          I did look at your 2d Tools but can't see a txt to enter area size.

                          Can you help ?

                          thanks

                          P

                            An area-text-tag has to be added into the same entities context as the face - you pick the face.

                            It's telling you that.

                            Edit the group/component containing the face[s] and add the area-text-tag[s] while you are in that edit-context...

                            It should then work OK...
