right i've found something interesting. This is a very complicated system, but it looks like it just may work. What do you guys think?

hi modelhead. Ideally they need to access a components file and be able to move the actual components around. In effect making the little changes that they want to on the model themselves.

hi kim

I have, Abe said he hasn't built a release yet to do what i'm looking for. But it is in the pipeline. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Hello to all the sketchup Guru's out there. I have to confess i am not a sketchup master but rather someone who needs help from the masters.

I have a rather difficult dilemma and so i shall explain what it is and wait for you all to throw things at me.

We use sketchup to build models and then export them to 3D models. Works perfect. The customer then gets his 3D model of what his garden/house looks like etc. However over the last year people have been pushing us to become more interactive. They want to have the ability to look at their models online instead and be able to interact with them. No this is where i'm stuck, and was wondering if some genius out there has cracked this. How would i create a online interactive sketchup platform for my customers to use?

Any and all comments would be appreciated. We are totally out of our depth here and need some guidance. I look forward to hearing from the community.

Thank you
shannon

Hi

Right i'm changing my last post as i have managed to figure some of it out today, i have a differnt question entirely now.

When you assign attributes to various parts of your model and save it as a model, you can then run attribute reporter fine which is great.
You can also set attributes to one item say a square and set attributes and run the reporter which is fine.

What you can't seem to do though is, build a model from a variety of components that have attributes already set and then run a report after you have finished.Even if you save the model and then reopen it. It is like the program can't read layers?

Has anyone got any ideas regarding this?
