On my PC, Housebuilder, Layer Manager, and projection_extension show in Preferences>Extensions. I'm not sure about the latest version of SketchyPhysics.

Projection and Layer Manager also have folders in Plugins in addition to HouseBuilder folder. Do you have all their parts in the right places?

Querying the developers for their input might be more useful. Azuby's suggestion too. Flightpathtool and holes, those are RickW's. You could even try contacting him via smustard.com. Didier worked on 3 others. Projection_extension is quite useful. Hope you can get it to work.

A listing might be useful.

For starters, your problem scripts all require other scripts to work. Check to see if you have all required scripts. Open the scripts in a plain text editor like Notepad. Toward the top it list the required scripts.

Flightpathtools.rb wants sketchup.rb AND linetool.rb; holes.rb wants sketchup.rb AND offset.rb; my version of Housebuilder wants extensions.rb and Langhandler.rb. I have a folder called Housebuilder with Housebuilder.rb in it. So you may be missing some stuff.

The script authors would have provided additional scripts the main scripts require.

Check Window>Preferences>Extensions and see if invisible scripts are checked. If checked go to View>Toolbars and check the toolbars you want. A program reload may be required.

I think I found another timely use for this script - ammunition.

As I have mentioned above, there have been many expensive mistakes, mostly by the draftsmen/project managers. Myself and another person have been moved up to 'office' positions because we know how to make things. Today a 'CAD specialist' consultant was brought in to help fix the flow of information.

I described things I did and the 'specialist' thought Inventor and Solid Works would be good: but expensive and with a long learning curve. He did not know SU but he doubted the usefulness of something free. I tried to correct his perception. I found his Inventor nonsense a bit funny since I rejected Inventor 3 years ago in favor of SU.

So tonight I'm pulling together stuff to showcase this program - like how easy it is to layout a beamed, groin vault. And now this script adds a shinny, new weapon to my arsenal. So again, I thank you, very much.

Due to the excitement of the moment I thought the written to announcement showed up at the beginning - not the end. All is well.

TIG, looks like you, Al, and vendmr are giving me a reason to delve into Excel. The ability to make custom, update-able XLS could indeed be very useful.

Recent we made a bunch of custom doors and jams. On the most part the rough opening measures and count recorded in an Excel file where correct. But somehow the people fabricating everything were often given drawings with incorrect sizes and hinge side location.

Some of my current projects includes domed ceilings and adding faux beams to a groin vault. If thing were originally laid out in SU, I wouldn't have to fudge things to fit now.

TIG, Your files go to the right directory now No message that the files were completed though - if you still coded for that.

It might be more useful if your three files were three pages in one Excel document.

I noticed that you cannot save adjusted column widths in the csv format. Interesting. I suppose such limitations disallows pages in csv too.

Also, area doesn't have units listed.

Ruby console results.

This file contains my kitty and other creatures. Nesting of groups and components is necessary in part to avoid inadvertently selecting and working on the wrong geometry and parts. Day job typically involves all milwork/woodwork for homes with 20' ceilings and 12 air conditioners. Some elements do get hand sculpting.

This deep mining accounting stuff could be useful to help manage stuff.

TIG, I made all your edits and still get your csv files in RpTools directory.

I used to have the old ComponentReporter.rb, but renamed it with TXT then removed it from the Plugin directory altogether.

And I forgot, RpTools Model Report does produce an announcement message after its file is created whereas your plugin only announces where the file will go.

I'm getting your files now - in C:\Program Files\Render Plus Systems\RpTools

RpTools reports go to the same directory. Their files are named test_report.txt (and csv).

No error messages appear in the Ruby console.

I did not get a closing saying the files were written - even the first time I successfully tried it here. I had opened the files in Excel to see how they look (had to move over the column a bit) then closed Excel.

I ran your script a second time and still did not get the closing message. The only message I get is one saying it will save the files to the RpTools directory.

XP Pro, SP2.

I am getting an error message. There is a conflict with RpTools.

C:/Program Files/Render Plus Systems/RpTools/test-Component+Report.csv NOT available for writing (it might be open) !
Exiting...

RpTools puts a menu item called Model Report in the Tools menu. It offers the option to create a text or Excel file. The file is saved in the program file. The file it creates is called test_report.txt (or csv).

This error message occurs whether or not I used Model Report to create a file.

Some program code may be corrupted. If so, there's a repair option for PCs that's worth looking at http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=36209&query=repair&topic=&type=

Yes, it's a manual workaround, but it can be done http://groups.google.com/group/Sketchup ... ec83fd32db

Also explode same curve and use the Smoove tool on it. A 20' radius worked well on the example.

Photoshop Elements has a plugin that enables many Photoshop features, like Channels http://hiddenelements.com/
