I’m designing houses with a building block that has multiple types of blocks. I’m making each course of blocks a component and would like to generate a report which accomplishes will display in this fashion:
Thanks for the good thoughts on this. What I’ve come to understand with all ya’lls help is that I can accomplish what I want by generating a series of reports instead of one single report. Possibly there could be a way to run a single report, but if so that path has yet to be discovered.
This sketchup file is in progress; we’re working on identifying how to accomplish each facet of the project before completing each step, but here’s what it looks like at the moment:
To reiterate my hopes, I would have a report that listed each horizontal course, with a list of each type of block in each course. At the moment, the best I can do is make a report for each individual course and consolidate the information in the .csv
yes, I am. I was waiting to buy it myself until I was sure I could accomplish what I wanted with the software, and I’m happy to say that I now dedicated to sketchup pro, what promises to be a rewarding and highly addictive journey
I know this is an ancient thread, but it came up while I was googling for an answer for how to count selected objects. I wanted something quick and simple to count the number of objects in a group. You can do this in Extensions → Developer → Ruby Console and type:
model = Sketchup.active_model
selection = model.selection
selection.count
That will tell you how many objects are currently selected. It doesn’t do anything clever like traverse children in the group or anything but it’s quick!
