We will give that a try, Thanks again for all your help.

I realize that that is their ultimate goal, to get everyone to upgrade. in this case this is not my decision, its the company I work for. I am reaching out for pricing and see where we go from there.

Personally my perpetual license at home I do not want to upgrade. I've bought every upgrade since version 2 for my use. I use it for both work and hobby.

But if we as a company upgrade and I add one the new licenses to my home computer so I can work on company projects at home wouldn't that become the default and supersede all my models/SKU versions I have on my personal computer? if and when I remove the companies version would I be locked out of all my (Personal) years of work?

is there one you would recommend?

I've looked a couple and started using -"ComponentReporter++.rb", But it does the entire file. We have different locations/rooms grouped together in what we call "Positions".

I need it to only count the "position" I have highlighted in the SketchUp file to identify what is in each position.

We are on SketchUp 2020 and have permanent licenses, SketchUp has just stopped supporting this version and cut off the generate report function of this program. We were using this to get info out of this for our internal purpose. So my question, is there a extension or scrip we can use till we do our own plugin to replace it?

What we need is for it to pull from our drawings the “Definition Name”, “Quantity”, and “Entity Description” only.

Thanks for this information, we are JUST starting to use our 2021 version and and i was having the same problem. I know this and the other changes mentioned here are written down somewhere. can you direct me to that list?

We will live with it,

If i were to try and change anything in the program I'd have to do it on my own time, for fun. I am not skilled in that area presently and I do have that kind of time right now to devote to it.

We need feedback...

Update,
it still works in 2020 and we can live with it.
It would be nice if it was updated to the 2020 name change. This is a old program called "Make Named Group" by Thomthom. I don't know if there is anything similar out there in the SKU plugin world. But I find it's a quick way to move/Tag and name objects in one operation.

I don't see a first question

Guess I need to reword it, but yes the 1st question is about this plugin i am hoping that the author sees this responds about upgrading it.

@unknownuser said:

I expect the vendors will need to deal with it.

Yes, I am hoping for a response from the community on these issues also. maybe someone has heard something or will.

Like most people I am to busy right now to do the upgrade for our company and i want to play with it before i do it there. I'll have to play with it over the weekend at home on my own version of SKU, but i'll let you know what happens.

I should be able to work with both 2019 and 2020, Right?

This is a plug that I’ve used for a while now that uses the word “Layers” called “Make Name Group”. It’s a great little plug in that does what it says, I can name it and place the items on any layer I have in my drawing. Not sure who’s the author but I hope they updated it.

My other question is with the outliner. I use this all the time to name all my object from the default name so I can find things easier. But as I found out the hard way V-Ray does not like (Nor Recommend) you have the outliner panels open when using their plug-ins. Saving a drawings can take a very long time when I forget to close it.

Same with Scatter it does not like the outliner or the components panel open. Has or will these issues be resolved with these vendors do we know?
