More new ideas for Space Design

Posted by Render Plus on May 31, 2011 at 2:37am in SpaceDesign 3D PDF
Add Toolbar Icon to produce report (using default report format and default attributes)

Add Combine components made unique (Copy in name)  - Like (# in name)

Add Navigation buttons on add / edit Attributes in Design Space Design Attributes. (currently take a while to load an attribute for editing and then saving) so being able to edit the next / previous attribute may help speed it up.

    Al, any idea when you will be releasing this version?

    OK

    Hi Al, Looks good. Would be nice if you can add an "Add Attribute" button on the same form.

    Quick report

     

    I added a quick report icon to the toolbar:

    • SD - loads a dialog which lets you define how SpaceDesign will be loaded when you load SketchUp.
    • Attributes - load the SpaceDesign Attributes Wizard.
    • Report - load the SpaceDesign Report Wizard
    • Quick Report - generate a report with the current settings.

    Navigation Buttons:

     

    I added Prev..., Next..., and Apply.

    (Apply is necessary if you change the format from Text to Numeric and want to test a calculation. You will need to "Apply" the changes first. This could be necessary for other changes as well.)

     

    At this point, you will need to exit and Click "Add Attribute" to add new attributes.

    I changed the documentation to read:

     

    • Combine components made unique or duplicated ('#' or ' copy ' in name) - if checked then component names will be truncated before any # sign (for "make unique" components), or before the word " copy ", (lower case and with spaces - for duplicated pieces in Dynamic Components).

      This will report components which have been :made unique" on the same line if all other attributes are the same. This will also report copied parts of dynamic components as the same component. Note: This may cause problems if you use a #-sign or the cord "copy" in other components.

    Hi Al,

    You will have to put in a disclaimer, if components have # or copy in the names then dont use this option. :)

    I think the single setting for both will work for the time being, but I'm sure that at some point in the future you will be asked if they can be seperated.

    I was going to use the "3 numbers", but first I would have to see what happens when I add more than 1,000 pickets to a fence. 

     

    The answer, after making a fence long enough is that they use three digits for 0-999, and then use more digits if needed - Picket copy 1218.

     

    I could check for "copy " and 3 or more digits, but I think I will just take the easy route and check for "space-copy-space".

     

    Similarly, users will have problems it they create components with a '#' in the name. I created a component called '#1#2#3' - when I made a copy and made the new one unique, SketchUp named it: "#1#2#1' - replacing the number after the last # sign - rather than adding a new # sign, or finding some other solution. So combininb duplicated components won't work properly if users create components with # signs in the names already.

    Also, I went with a single setting for both:

     

    Combine components made unique or duplicated ('#' or ' copy ' in name)

    Hi All,
    If it helps it always has 3 numbers after it, and they all belong to a master component.
