Incremental numbering of components
-
Hello!
I am looking to add markers to my model. They are simple circles or cylinders. I have them as components because they are all the same shape/size/etc. They are basically place holders for where items are being placed in the real life version of the model.
The part I cannot figure out is whether it is possible to number the markers. I would like to be able to incrementally number each marker, either as I place them, or afterwards once they are all in their proper locations. I'd vastly prefer an automated method of doing this, but I couldn't figure out a good manual way either.
I feel competent with the basics of SketchUp with creating shapes and installing plugins, but the Ruby console is beyond me and I find the text tool baffling. I do have SketchUp Pro, so I'm able to use dynamic components if that helps.
For reference, I found this method of (seemingly - I haven't tried) doing what I need in AutoCAD LT, which is my other option. http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?66337-Auto-Increment-Numbering-for-AutoCAD-LT I'd much prefer a SketchUp way to do this, if there is one.
Thank you in advance!

Have a look at a q I asked on this here http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=41324&p=367029&hilit=numbering+trees#p367029 - it's well on the way there

Look into TIG's COORDTAG.rb tool. Set to some geo-location, you also get the co-ords of each tree, and his latest update to the file allows sequential labeling/numbering as well.
