Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
I like "door - 001"...
Can you code this to add some option in some menu?
And I also like to know if we can do it in the whole model or only visible layers....

Thanks very much!

I found this plugin simply fantastic! Wonderful!
But...
If some component have several copies, with several scales from outside,is presented in the report as if everyone had the same size, and this is not desirable to me.
Also would like to know if is possible to organize the report by displaying objects by layer, and if we can disable to make report to hidden layers.

Thank you!

Maybe you can add this function?

It would be possible to create a plugin that renames all groups and components that are within a layer using the name of the layer itself?
If some layer is named "door", and the objects have different names, after running the script we have names like this:
"door - 001"
"door - 002"
"door - 003"
"door - 004"
"door - 005"
etc ...
It would be necessary only for objects that were at the root of the outliner.
If not, someone could create a script or plugin to do this, please?
I also need a plugin that transforms all groups in components, only those who are at the root of the outliner ...

Thank you!

Someone already ask for freeze layers content?

It sounds to me you could head off a lot of your problems or reduce your demands from a plugin by changing your modeling workflow somewhat. For example if you just made components from the beginning...

Ok! I undestand you. This is not the great problem to me.
look this:

So the only problem now it from some component that are not align in green or red axes.
The problem is that components are in a diagonal position. It would be possible to create a plugin that all align as shown above or at least orient all component in a single direction?

Thank you TIG!
I already knew of this possibility, but I thought of something that turns any group in the root in the outliner into component.

Please consider creating something that did what the picture below shows.

Please note that the objects were aligned by layers, by opening cutlist.skp below.

Thank you!

If You will be interested in this, I can communicate with You on this case and will share the information that I have.
Good luck.

@I.Aleks.S
Yes! Would greatly appreciate any information that would facilitate my work.

@ashscott
So now the only thing that I need to use the plugin ComponentReporter from TIG would be something that turns groups into components, and other that align objects in one direction only, putting such components and groups with longer side near the origin, disregarding the blue axes.

Please open file that I share.

Thanks guys!

@TIG

I only need The only modification I would like this plugin would measure diagonal objects properly, instead of bounding box ... and to work with groups also...

Please take a look to another request made by me:

I need these changes:
Properly measure the object diagonally.
Measuring objects in centimeters or meters.
I need to know in which layer each object is located.
If it were possible to select which fields of information the list would be exported would be great.

Thank you friends for answers. I am studying each answer in detail. Surely 50% of the work became easier. Thanks!

I would like to consider this plugin, which unfortunately is in Portuguese, but represents perhaps 99% of what I want.
But it is a pity that is dedicated exclusively to architecture, not the branch of the furniture industry.

Please watch the video and try the plugin.

Model of the kitchen
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=c54d72becbf38f03fb543376e152c7ec

I work as a designer furniture for industry planned. We took measures of environments (kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms etc) in the homes or apartments of prospective customers and then elaborate furniture and decorations, and we render modeled for subsequent evaluation of the customers. I would ask for developers of this great site to develop a plugin that would meet the needs of my work that Sketchup does not meet at this time , which is to create the budget the calculate the cost of construction and assembly of furniture after the development of the project to my clients.

The furniture is not faithfully modeled according to the geometry of how the furniture will be built. Just develop the model in SketchUp so that it is visually correct with what will be built. Besides job creation and modeling of furniture , we need to know the cost of construction of the team of carpenters and later assembly at home of the customer. We use the tape measure tool in sketchup, measuring piece by piece and writing the result in some paper , which is very annoying . We need to add many things on the list of budget for each part of the furniture built as hardware, hinges, handles , etc that are not generally modeled in 3d. ( This is important in order to create a realistic budget. The model does not need to be realistic.)

All this could be automated via a plugin that someone could create , making the job much easier .

I imagine the operation of the plugin as follows: classify groups and components on different layers, (as the model of shared kitchen below , please check how objects were sorted into layers) one layer for each class of product or service that the company I work for provides . Most items would be included in the list of budget per area in square meter or per linear meter. Some should be able to automatically include other items that would not be modeled in 3d . Would be the case for example of drawers , which could include hinges and / or handles automatically at the moment to generate report .
Most often, the props are not included in the budget . The customer need to buy it separately. But it may be situations where my company would be responsible for providing such items. The same happens with appliances. The plugin suggestion would include "metals and accessories " for example (see below some websites of manufacturers of metal accessories here in Brazil) that would be included in the budget for each element as the layer in which they were. For example, throwing an object on a layer called "drawer" could automatically include various items (that were not designed in 3d), such as knobs, hinges and pistons.

We should be able to define these items the price per unit , and also the cost for the installation / labor. We use MDF boards in different thicknesses, depending on need. Each manufacturer of MDF boards sells your product with dimensions different from other manufacturers. There is no default.

It would be interesting also include the possibility of generating a cutting plan for MDF boards sheets for later help of joiners when cutting . We could define the distance lost by the saw when cutting (usually 6 mm ). We should also be able to include an safety area in the contour of the plate that are discarded by the effect of kneading or scratches that occur on the plate of MDF at the time of shipping.

It would be possible to create a plugin that does the same configuration on all materials in the scene? For example, I would like something that makes a copy of settings reflecting chanel from a vray material for all other materials present in the model. Is it possible?

I think this is good tool for sketchup:

Click "CRIE COMBINAÇÕES PERFEITAS"

(www.coral.com.br)

I do not know if this already exists, but it would be really cool if we could create some set of plugins that will not boot always with Sketchup. It was possible to create sets of plugins, for example, to modeling, to texturing, to rendering, etc. And it was possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to each set of plugins.

That would be interesting for situations where we want to have new and old versions of plugins running at the same time. Or other plugins that have conflict with others.

I was inspired to this ideia with plugin "Vray toys" from thomthom ("Load Vray on demand"), where the Vray will not boot up automatically with Sketchup, and we can create a keyboard shortcut for the Vray boot after we open Sketchup.

This plugin can be used for entire scene? This is because your plugin "CleanUp" sometimes delete faces and edges too small...

The problem is with Artisan. So, because I don't use artisan, I put them off.

Why Scene Rename is not working? Someone can help me?
