This application is developed for SketchUp designers that want to automate SketchUp through MS Excel. Component data specified in Excel is pushed to SketchUp. After performing scaling, translation and rotation, the component data can be written back to Excel. Previously created shapes can be re-added in SketchUp and also written back to Excel.
Application improvements:
-Input rotation about the x, y and z axis does not work yet.
-Input number of items of a component does not work yet.
-Rotation output is still in radians.
-Dimension output is still of the bounding box of objects.
-Cone input parameters were Dim(y) and Dim(z). Needed to be Dim(x) and Dim(y)
.
Potentially added to application:
- Cost analysis functionality.
- Bounding box envelope
- Variable metric system
.
Feel free to use the plugin and please feedback.
Yours sincerely,
Faraz

Excel Worksheet
This application uses an Excel sheet for managing components. The reason for this is the fact that Excel is widely used. The parameter data in the Excel sheet can be fed to SketchUp.
This hyperlink adds a new component unit.
This hyperlink clears both the DSTInput and DSTOutput sheet.
The parameters are entirely free to change but there are some requirements the input data needs to satisfy which will be discussed later.
The worksheet consists of the DSTInput sheet and the DSTOutput sheet. Data will be fed from the DSTInput sheet to SketchUp and from SketchUp back to the DSTOutput sheet.
A component unit.
