Here is a link to a Reporting Plug-in for SketchUp 2016, but I'm afraid only for Windows.

You made a lo of work... congratulations; only 2 questions:

in what circumstances would somebody want to edit such reports on paper or equivalent 2d support when all the informations are in the 3D model?
will the users you think about be able to manage such a complex set of dialog boxes to customize the reports?

Thanks for the feedback. Often the information available inside the model needs to be used outside of SketchUp. This allows us to make the most of the SketchUp model, reports such as Material Requirements, Part Lists, Estimating Quotes on paper can be helpful in sharing information to other people in the process.

Using a Report designer is not for every user, but the WYSIWYG Designer is similar to many other programs (Crystal Reports, MS Access) and the data schema and report definitions can be designed by one user and shared onto other computers by simply copying the report templates.

Thanks again for the comments...

Working on a new extension and would appreciate any ideas or feedback on bugs you find. The extension creates a XML data file of the Components/Groups and their corresponding Attributes. There is also a Report Writer which allows the user to create their own custom reports.

Currently testing on Windows Sketchup 2016 platform. The reporting program may run on Mac OS using the Mono framework, but Mac SketchUp has reduced features for exporting images and the report designer is bugging in the Mono framework. So using the extension on the Mac OS is still TBD.

There is a "big" Webdialog toolbar which really works best in Windows version, but there is also a SketchUp toolbar that works in Windows and/or Mac. It is available from the View=>Toolpalletes.

Depends on user permissions, the plugin has trouble creating local data files, so some tweaking is needed for 2013. The EXE was created for users back when installing a plugin in SketchUp wasn't so easy. But Ken is right using an EXE is now not a good way to install plugins, the plugin hasn't seen much development since it was originally created for idrawnics, however an update to an .RBZ is overdue. As for the website, that one is out of my hands.

The extension should be updated to SketchUp 2013 in the next couple weeks.

The SketchData Toolbar extension/plugin can be uninstalled under "Preferences=>Extensions" in SketchUp, or a new version of the Extension can be downloaded from the website http://www.sketchdata.com/#!/page_downloads. Email us at info@sketchdata.com if you have problems.

For me, I do all my dimensions in SUP and all my labels in LO, often designs for me change after I goto LO. So I really need the dimensioning to update automatically, and the SketchUp to Layout link works really "good". Great thing about SketchUp, alot of good ways to do things. Here is a link to the drawings I create with Layout

I find setting up layers inside SketchUp for the Dimensions works pretty well, for Cabinetry and Millwork. I just put the dims on Layers that match the scene names, and then only turn them on for the correct scene. Layer names like DIM_PLAN, DIM_ELEV1, DIM_ELEV2, DIM_SECT1, DIM_SECT2. That way the dimensions update when I change the model, but the "VPORT" inside LO needs to be in "HYBRID" mode for the dims to display well, which can be slow, so I make that switch at the end right before PDF.

I agree that the Dynamic Components aren't perfect, but they are a great addition for the cabinet mfg. Most cabinet mfg don't want Designers creating a bunch of "custom" cabinets. Using DCs the Designers have some pretty powerful building blocks to create "semi-custom" cabinets, and then of course SketchUp allows them to create the crazy stuff to. Most of the software in the Woodworking industry is just good at drawing cabinets, but not so good at creating the custom stuff, DCs allows SketchUp to do a good job at both.
