In search of Plugin to find Perimeter of face

JuddK

**I’ve been using Sketch-up to do a lot of Commercial Roofing material takeoffs.
I import the image of the roof, scale it and make faces of the required areas.

Then I select a face with the text tool and it puts the area of that face on the screen.

What I really like is to be able to get the Perimeter of face

Is there an easier way to get the Perimeter of face.Now I select an edge/ edges and get length from the Entity Info window, then add that to the face with the text tool.

That I’d really like would to be able to select a face, select a tool? Like the text tool, and be able to place text showing the area, perimeter, or both of the selected face.

Any Plugins or Extensions that might do that?

Does TIG’s AreaTextTag Tool give Perimeter or just area?

Thanks**

Yes that is true but only after you export as csv file is that info available.

Nice feature but not quite what I was hoping for

Diggsey's Recurve in plugin store:

Double click the face to select edges+face, unselect the face, cursor on edge, right click context menu/Recurve/Recurve edges.
Then text tool gives you the perimeter.
Its a workaround but if you set shortcuts it can be very fast.
