Thanks for trying Jim... Just out of curiosity, how were you able to export any attributes from the DC?

@jim said: @alexdobras said: where's the exporter now ? :-s The download link is here, but the plugin is for version 6 and hasn't been maintained for recent versions. t might work with Version 8, or it might not. http://dl.google.com/sketchup/gsu6/plugins/sketchup6webexporterwen.exe works fabulous! thanks Jim!

Question is, how are you expecting this to work for you, as the designer of the components? Are you looking for something that let you just create a DC and have the server read and interpret how the DC is configured and offer a custom UI to the user of the website that will in return build a "dumb" component?

Hello to all, 12 years later... Sorry. I am working on model with a lot of DCs, and the .csv export of "attrreporter.rb" takes several time. The TomTom's solution "model.save" maybe can hepl me. Does Someone keep it safe? Thank you for your answers. Julien

I tihnk you have to use nested functions to do it in DCs, so it'll look something like this: if("x"=y,do_this,(if("x"=z,do_that,do_theother)))

@unknownuser said: Hi Eric Am I right to say that if you modify the dimension of an element in SU, the related dimension created in Layout will not be updated? That's correct Bert, you have to go back and manually edit your dimensions. I think this is actually a smart way to dimension. There are a lot of "free form" CAD softwares out there that feature "automatic" dimensioning. They are not foolproof though. Typically, when I use those features, I get mixed results, and I end up switching them all to manual. If I can't trust the program to automatically edit my dimensions, I have to go check them all anyway... If you want to check out my blog entry, go to the first post in this email. That blog entry was also featured in the Google Sketchup blog a few months ago as well.

Yes, ever since I've tried it, too (it was actually you, Dave, as far as I remember). Anyway, true that the image quality looks exactly like you describe plus even the SU mouse cursors don't show (just a "generic" cursor can be seen). So far, I have to tell you, YuuGuu is what I'm most "impressed" (well, say "contented") with.

Hi Eric, The example you cited from the SketchUp Blog has everything you need. In the html of the WebDialog there is a button: <input type="button" onclick="callRuby('pull_selection_count')" value="Refresh"> onclick is an event that is fired when the button is clicked. When the button is clicked, the Javascript function named callRuby is executed. The string value 'pull_selection_count' is passed to the callRuby function. // Javascript in the html which defines the callRuby function used by onclick. function callRuby(actionName) { query = 'skp;get_data@' + actionName; window.location.href = query; } callRuby shows how to pass a value from the WebDialog to the SketchUp plugin that created the dialog. The Ruby script needs a callback named 'get_data'. window.location = 'skp:get_data@' + data; skp: - not sure precisely what this does but is required for the callback, get_data - the name of the call back in the ruby script, defined using add_action_callback('callbackname') { ... } @ - Optional: If you need to pass values to the call back, you need this delimiter. String concatenation in Javascript. data - a Javascript String. # The ruby part my_dialog.add_action_callback("get_data") do |web_dialog, action_name| UI.messagebox("Ruby says; Your javascript has asked for " + action_name.to_s) end The Ruby variable action_name get the value of the Javascript variable data. Hope that helps a little.

Yes, I highly agree with August. This is a very very useful dynamic component. Doing woodworking as a hobby (almost full time) It is true that we spent much time drawing doors and this DC will save me quite a bit of time Tank you Eric

Sorry Eric, just saw your reply. Here's the other thread. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=45412
