TIGs OBJ exporter works perfectly, checked and re checked.
I can export complicated scenes into blender/cycles for rendering.
Blender now supports collada (the new fixed version I mean). So, I can import export in SU without issues.
3ds importer is also workable though the limitations (64k faces for single mesh, 8digit names for textures)
This last is broken on all OSX free SU 8, works well in SU7 free.

But, as long SU keeps exporting ridiculous geometry, giving no control to the user on this matter, who really cares?
I started using blender as an assist app to SU. UV editor, organic modeling.
Then, after cycles render engine implementation and the new blender UI, I started using SU as an assist to blender, importing there.
Meanwhile, I learned blender, new great tools similar to SU and much more advanced came. So, you see my point 😆

I don't understand where can be an isolated cube except in the box packaging? 😄
Seems on your building structures examples all pieces are connected ?
Maybe p190.190 ? But it's not structure!

I don't understand the first.
Yes, they are connected. p190.190 is panel 190x190x3. It is too conected between beams with groove. I only need defined faces and to know what connects them..

TIG, I see thet you made ComponentReporter in 2007, but there isn't something new - more complex? It gives out good information and is better then CutList for me, thanks, but if it only could gives out connected details too and there would be defined sides...

See picture! Sides meaning faces. If there is 8 faces then 8, i have cube,i need only six. If it gives out this information, then with excel i could make some algorithm.

If I tried to write plugin, then i can write it in notepad? If i read program i can understand something, but don't understand how it is linked to work, i don't know key words too.

I fully don't understand you desires, as currently expressed...

Deciding what touches what is considerably different from counting a list of groups/component-instances.

Incidentally, with a little skill in Excel you can link in a CSV file into one tab of an XLS and setup the XLS to report whatever you need in another tab - sorting, totaling, formating etc...

It is hard to understand,i know, maybe i expressed my desires wrongly. I need to make program that counts object details. But when i draw with components, i don't want to name every properties of component (component properties have codes, main aim for me is to get those codes automatically) manually - i need that it recognise properties automatically, component properties depends on place where it is situated or jointed with other components. And maybe for some kind of panel component program automatically offers the right size to match in frame.

Simply, but i found difficult to explain it. I haven't seen that kind of program, it would be very, very usefull.
