[Plugin] Volume Calculator2...

TIG

Having slept on it you would probably want to find the volume of faces that slope too. This version does that - a fully 'vertical' face has 0x volume and a fully 'flat' face has 1x; while at 45 degrees it'll be 0.707x [1/sqrt(2)] of its flat cousin with the same surface area

v=0;b=Geom;;BoundingBox.new;m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;s.each{|e|(b.add(e.bounds);v=v+(e.area*e.normal.z.abs))if e.class==Sketchup;;Face};if v>0;t="Faces>Volume";r=inputbox(["Depth;","Units;"],['1"'.to_l,"cuyds"],["","cuyds|cu'|cu\"|m3|cm3|mm3"],t);if r;v=v*r[0];case r[1];when "cuyds";f=0.000021433470507545;when "cu'";f=0.000578703703703704;when "m3";f=0.000016387064;when "cm3";f=16.387064;when "mm3";f=16387.064;else;f=1.0;end;v=sprintf("%.6f ",(v*f));p=b.max;m.start_operation(t);m.active_entities.add_text((v+r[1]),p,[10,10,10]);m.commit_operation;else;p 'Canceled.';UI.beep;end;else;p 'No Faces!';UI.beep;end

This 'one-liner' version now asks for the depth and units, and then puts a piece of Text at the selected faces' max bounds.

To make it into a proper tool do this...
Make a file called 'VolumeFaces.rb' in the Plugins folder and add this code

require 'sketchup.rb'
module TIG
def self.volumefaces()
v=0;b=Geom;;BoundingBox.new;m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;s.each{|e|(b.add(e.bounds);v=v+(e.area*e.normal.z.abs))if e.class==Sketchup;;Face};if v>0;t="Faces>Volume";r=inputbox(["Depth;","Units;"],['1"'.to_l,"cuyds"],["","cuyds|cu'|cu\"|m3|cm3|mm3"],t);if r;v=v*r[0];case r[1];when "cuyds";f=0.000021433470507545;when "cu'";f=0.000578703703703704;when "m3";f=0.000016387064;when "cm3";f=16.387064;when "mm3";f=16387.064;else;f=1.0;end;v=sprintf("%.6f ",(v*f));p=b.max;m.start_operation(t);m.active_entities.add_text((v+r[1]),p,[10,10,10]);m.commit_operation;else;p 'Canceled.';UI.beep;end;else;p 'No Faces!';UI.beep;end
end
unless file_loaded?(File.basename(__FILE__))
  UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("Volume from Faces..."){TIG.volumefaces()}
end#menu
file_loaded(File.basename(__FILE__))
end

It then appears in Plugins Menu under 'Volume from Faces...', select faces and run it, set the dialog options as desired etc...

Ah damned there is no right button on Mac?
But as writed in the header there is also a Menu on the top line

Because Menu volume is on contextuel menu on right clic button !

you must have also sketchup.rb in the folders Plugins!
Maybe it's for that you don't see that!

works fine wtih the free one!

%(#FF4000)[Moderator note from thomthom:
I removed the sketchup.rb file as it not be needed to distribute this. Each SketchUp version needs a specific version, otherwise odd bugs can appear. The file should also not be in the Plugins folder. (Might have been true many many versions ago, but for the last few it should be in the Tools folder.)]

If you go the the SCF Plugins Index page - menu linked above - and use your browser's find function [ctrl+F?] for 'volume' you'll find all of the volume tools listed in their own threads - v1.8 has its own thread...
Please learn to use the basic SCF forum and browser-page search/find tools it will be to your advantage...

Tig, would it be possible to make plugin that calculates volume between two terrain surfaces.
Say you have existing ground surface in one group and planed ground surface in other, and you want to know how much you are excavating.
Or maybe there already are such plugin?

TIG

The version 1 of the tool has a cut-and-fill example.
You need to do several steps...
You need to find whats removed AND what's added...

Or make the two terrains into solids by adding a 'skirt' - I think sdmitch wrote a tool to do that...
Then intersect the two using solid-tools and the remainder is the volume...

TIG

There's a new future-proofed update.

Open the RB file in a plain text editor [like Notepad++] and read the usage notes at the start...

@unknownuser said:

...The new 'Volume' groups are given an attribute to identify them.
If you select one you'll get an extra context-menu option:
"Volume >>> CSV", this makes a list of [active] tagged volumes...

thank you very much, it still works and i tried to donate
