Hi, is there a plugin that puts/writes automatic the length of a solid group on the groups surface?
I have many lumbers and I need to write the length of them...

Hi

You could add a dimension within the component aligned with the face. Dimensions can be tweaked via the window/model info menu, select dimensions.

If you create a board component then you can scale to any other size by entering the measure followed by the units

To create a board where the material is not stretched after scaling, right click an make unique, and then right click and scale definition

Further more one can add a tag in the dimension followed by <> this will create a named item followed by the dimension

tagged with board...

Thank You Pilou for the suggestion! The packing plugin is seems to be fantastic, but is says me this:
Aucun composant en panneau.
All elements are solid components...

First
You must create with plugin Piece each component(s) ! (don't forget to change Name between each) !
Any dimension X, Y, Z , any name... Green dimension will be the thickness of the big slab!

Then run Packing! (no need to select something! )

For example
As there is no same tchickness of material there are different scenes with same material!

Thank You Very Much Pilou!
The secret is that all elements is must be created with the BLB plugin.
