Merci titimaster !
This is a good start.
So I get the full length if I use dimensional but only in the Summary. If I export to CSV I don't get the summary.
What it would be great to have is the ability to group several components in to one line, in this example with the moulding, it should be something like this:
Crown Profile (Crown Profile#1,Crown Profile#2, ...) Σ = 6400mm x 70mm x 50mm,
Because in this case you are not interested in individual pieces but in the overall length and usually you have pieces of about 2m long from which you cut to size when you build the furniture.
Thanks mate, that is a good idea but I am looking for automation, because if I change something at the client's request, I have to regenerate the csv file, and I have to redo the work of sorting the sheet.
Right now my csv file has 92 lines and I am not finished with this project.
Here are some screenshots of the project, and the last one is the sketchup project screenshot.
Hi Boris, indeed that's the use I am looking for. The plugin works great and we are slowly implementing sketchup to the team. We are currently doing everything in 2D with autocad, and the shop list by hand.
We have a lot of challenges along the way, a lot of human errors because it's tedious work.
And our shop lists are divided in to: solid wood parts, dimensional's, sheets, veneers.
Regarding veneers is very difficult to add, because as you model, you cut the veneers, so you end up with wrong dimensions in the list, you could add them with transparent material but I think it's just to much work and it's faster to do it manually at the end when you have the exported list an you start to organise it to print it out for every department.
Basically in this step I can do what titimaster is suggestion, it makes sens.
But as an idea for parts groups, which would be very helpful also in using dynamic components, as in dynamic cabinets for example.
When you use a dynamic cabinet and copy it and then start changing values using the component options the new cabinet and all nested components get a new unique name usually it's the initial name followed by # and a number. That is one thing open cutlist can't handle.
I love the fact that open cutlist works only with components and not groups, because you can create a dynamic door and have multiple groups that compose the component and open cutlist will treat it as one piece.
So back to the idea for parts groups:
Can you use the instance to group them ? that would mean we need to add an instance name, and have it be the same name for all parts we want to group. Or the new label feature and group the components based on a specific label.
The best would be, in my opinion, if you can check the definition name to be the same until you encounter the "#". Maybe also make it optional by adding it as a setting if you want components grouped like that.
Thank you very much for the help guys.
Boris Beaulant thanks!
Is there a way to close the question as resolved or it will just stay here as is.
Boris Beaulant that is very good news :D.
I also have found an issue/bug with the dev realease you have shared regarding the summary. Where should I post that ?
Boris Beaulant Man, the first reactions to this update, where you group elements that are the same is absolutely fantastic. I will give you more feedback as I use the plugin.
Hi there, I can contribute for romanian language, and possible for hungarian as well.
You mean the whole interface of sketchup ? No ... but I was thinking you can have this in the settings of the plugin not necessarily connected to the language of sketchup.
Boris Beaulant So should we do this ? let me know if you want me to contribute.
Sure it is.
Boris Beaulant you are the man!
