        If the font used has a broad range of characters [like Arial] then standard Text-Labels can be done in Arabic etc.
        I'd write the text in a text editor that supports the language, then copy+paste it into your text object in SketchUp.
        The character order and writing direction are kept.

        Unfortunately the equivalent in 3d-Text will do the same [with a suitable font], BUT sadly it reverses the writing direction from right>left to left>right, AND keeps the letter order so everything gets jumbled and messed up !
        If it were a short word, then reordering the letters manually could work, but it's a pain.

        السلام عليكم

          Nice workaround:

          Sadly I can't use Layout because of this imperfection 👿

            You could write it down in Illustrator or similar vector software, export it to DXF and import it in SU.

Ain't any one there could help and I can share my copy of the floor generator plugin with everyone. This is what shows up instead of the main panel of the floor generator plugin. I would be grateful if someone could help. Thanks.
