Dimensions Added as Objects Are Drawn - Feedback Please
-
Hi Rick,
I have my guys in the office working in Revit, I myself have resisted switching to revit since 90% of my work is design. I prefer to work with SU since I find it so quick and intutive. I know a lot of Architects use SU to quickly build components for importing into ArchiCAD or Revit during construction documentation, I see this tool being extremly helpful for me to become more involved again in production of construction documents. I look forward to its release

There seems to be an endless stream of functionality and work flow improvements to SU through scripts and add-ons. This one is a must-have, so long as it also works in SU5.
Kudos Rick.

Hi all!
¿Do you know something new about that?
It seems so interesting...

We are just completing the final touches on the scope of the functionality. We should have an idea in a week or so as to when the add-on will be availble.
Thanks for the interest.

Rick

¡¡¡GREAT!!!
mmm... a week is too much time...
Thanks for the very good news!

Rick,
Looks good, we'd be very interested in this.
........
Ideally ALL SU Dims should have this ability (to adjust / resize the model) as shown in your demo movie file.
ie ALL DIMS ARE SMART DIMS - regardless of which tool was used to create them. (either your code or native SU).
........
If some Dims are Smart (produced with your code) and some Dims are Dumb (produced with native SU) we need a QUICK VISUAL way to differentiate the two different types (eg a toggle button to highlight all the Smart Dims Red for instance), that way we know which ones can be edited to adjust the model.
.........
All previous comments regarding layers I'd agree with also.
.........
Are you planning to adopt all current SU Dim features eg ability to change font, size, hide when fore shortened etc ???Regards

I love it. But will it be possible to move these dimensions to wherever you'd like to see them? In the flash movie most dimensions stick to the surface, I'd like to move them a little away from the model, like the first two dimensions.

A brilliant extension!
Is there a functionality to move the dimensions? when I need the measure to be outside the element or in a different place than it was originally created to?
And does it support metric system? (probably a silly question
)I'd very much like to use it in work - if needed, I can also beta-test...

Any news?

I think everyone that has ever dabbled in SU, let alone the ones that use it for productive purposes, such as work, is interested in this new avenue. I have been since getting into SU a few months ago, and have spent a bit of time studying Rubies. Here are my thoughts, not that they are worth much, or anything as far as that goes.
I too love all the different ideas that this topic has generated, but, rather than have all the aforementioned bells and whistles in the beginning, wouldnt it be feasible to start with some simple things that can be amended, altered, and added on to?
So far, we have all learned to live with what we have, some of us lately, some since the beginning, and some along the way. I would think that a simple start would be at least equal to where we are, then grow it into something that is of GREAT benefit and fits most everyones needs/wants.
I know what I think doesnt account for much, but its just some thoughts that have no bearing on anything.

That script looks like a cool idea.
Being an architect I could really use that. -
Yes, would be very useful tool. Please develope it!
But how it would work with arcs, circles and curves? -
This looks like a very nice addition for SketchUp. I do electro-mechanical drawings to 0.001" precision, not architecture in feet and inches, so I hope it would function as well for that purpose.

Did anything every happen with this....or is it still pending

i would like to know how this is progressing as well.
my feature request would be for equations ie: Dim1 = Dim2*5 etc...

Hi All,
Firstly I would like to thank everyone for your continued interest in the dimensioning add-on.
To bring you up to date.....as it currently stands the SketchUp API does not provide enough access to dimension objects to facilitate the development of our application. Until recently I have been in discussions with the SketchUp folks about the possibility of gaining the required access. They have not been able to provide me with a time frame for doing so. When the opportunity becomes available we will develop it. I would ask that if it is of interest to you, drop SketchUp an email.
In the mean time please keep your suggestions coming and feel free to ask me any questions that might come to mind.
Thanks again,
Rick

what about the functionality that already appears to be working in the video? is this real or staged?
if its real, maybe you could do something like soapskinbubble or sketchyphysics has done and release the script you have so far with an expiration date while you get the rest of your functionality worked out. to me from what i saw in the video this is already an invaluable script very much worthy of being used and evaluated by SK users. it looks like you may have solved one of the final needs i have to keep returning to Solidworks all the time for.
