Feature Request - Re: Rooms Surfaces plug-in
I want more.
Why? Because what you have almost does what I want and I don't want to write it myself.

What do I want?

A breakdown of area values,
The ability to create a list of key/value pairs,
The capacity to multiply any given area by one of those values, and
The resulting subtotals.

Why should you do it? Because it would be awesome useful.

Follow me here;

Key value list
Ceiling paint             0.1 l/m^2
Ceiling paint (wet area)  0.13 l/m^2
Render                    0.8 kg/m^2
Paint Primer              0.011 l/m^2
Red paint                 0.019 l/m^2
Red paint + primer        0.03 l/m^2
Carpet                    59 $/m^2

                      Area   Material            Result
Room Name  Ceiling  32m^2  Ceiling paint        3.2 litres
           Floor    32m^2  Lineolem             $940
           Wall 1   12m^2  Red paint + primer   0.36 litres
           Wall 2   12m^2  Red paint + primer   0.36 litres
           Wall 3   12m^2  Red paint + primer   0.36 litres
           Wall 3   12m^2  Wood Panel           $390

Material             Total
Ceiling paint        3.2 litres
Lineolem             $940
Red paint + primer   1.1 litres
Wood Panel           $390

There are obviously a multitude of ways to summarise and present the results, but I'm hoping you can see the value to people who use SH3D to plan renovations and decorating.

Cheers,

Jay
