Rooms Surfaces plug-in
In category YAUP (Yet Another Useless Plugin), I present You my second attempt in java (and in programming in general). It was necessary in my learning curve to my initial purpose: to make a useful plugin. I hope it will be ready before the end of the world. Until than, this plugin could be find also on Source Forge here . Few image:
The plug-in could be find here:Rooms Surfaces plugin . Hope somebody can use it.

Re: Rooms Surfaces plug-in
New version (1.1) with few improvements. Now, by check/uncheck the SUBTOTAL, check/uncheck all rooms at that level. Checking a room on unchecked level will also check the level. The plug-in are under menu Tools->Total room's surface. I recommend to remove (uninstall) other plug-ins with the same functionality. The new version could be downloaded from here:Roos Surfaces v1.1 or from Source Forge here.

Re: Rooms Surfaces plug-in
Very nice plugin! Saves me the creation of Excel-Sheets like i've done so far! Thanks man!!! Would be great if we can sort the rooms for example living area and technical area.

Re: Rooms Surfaces plug-in
Few possibilities: -if the home are empty the plug-in are gray; -also if the home don't have any rooms; Please keep me up to date!

Re: Rooms Surfaces plug-in
Wile there are two people interested in use (test) this plug-in, I feel responsible to give few more explanations. NOTE"room" = object created with room creation tool; in SH3D 3 or more connected walls don't represent a room. When lance SH3D the plug-in verify if there are any rooms; if not is inactive. After open an home plan it make the same verification; if find at least one room, the plug-in became active and could show the total surface even there are only one room. If the home plane have multiple levels but not all own room(s) the plug-in will show and compute ONLY those WITH rooms. At lance will make the total of rooms find on home plan. Then the user can check/uncheck the included surfaces in total.
@UbuntuBirdy maybe You're right but I don't find another criteria to make this. Personally I've organized the home plan on multi-levels, some of them at same elevation or very close (<10 cm) for different purposes (electric, water and hot,furniture etc.). Some of them have rooms some not. The plug-in show me only those with rooms sorted by levels. Unfortunately most rooms have "No name". If You or someone else find a bather way I'll be happy. Until there the rest of the necessary tasks could be made in LO Calc or MS Office. I deactivate the option to open the csv file after creation because I don't know what could happen under different OS. Personally I don't like to open instantly. Remember I'm not a programmer. I get start learning few month ago. So, good luck

None of the two possibilities. So, I see the plugin in options and in the directory of the librairies. I tried to use the plugin on an existing project but nothing arrives...
On which OS did you create it ?

Re: Rooms Surfaces plug-in
Bdfd, it's probably not a problem of OS. Please run the program from the command line with the following command line to get possible errors:
C:\Program Files\Sweet Home 3D\SweetHome3D.exe 2>log.txt
This should create a log.txt file in your home folder which might contain some useful information for Dorin.

Re: Rooms Surfaces plug-in
@bdfd, For your sake I've repair an Win10 (don't want to work after crash of an 3Tb HDD and I don't boot on it for couple of months); -I've download and install the installer version of SH3D for win; -I've chose 32 bit when prompted; -make a test to see if run; Run!; -download the plugin from this site; -double click on it and was automatically installed; -run SH3D; verify in about; plugin are there. -open same of the demo files provided by SH3D; -menu Tools->Total room's surface; ==>the table show up with all expected data on it; -I've made a test for Export to CSV and work also; CONCLUSION: on my side are work correctly even under Windows.
Suggestion 1: - rename the Sweet Home 3D folder to Sweet Home 3D-1 in [USER]\ApplicationData\ to preserve actual configuration; - restart SH3D and the program will recreate the necessary files and directory; - reinstall the plug-in and test it with demo files;
Suggestion 2: Verify the java version; I've made it for jre8 or high. Please let me (us) know if You manage it to work. You're experience could be useful for other users.
@Emmanuel, I'm flattered if You think I could understood something from a log file produced by Windows. Scarcely I decipher the Eclipse debug. I've spend 2 weeks to fix an NullPointerException and another 2 weeks for an StackOverFlow learning and try 10~14 hour/day. Well, I don't give up; I continue learning wile I've made only two steps.

Re: Rooms Surfaces plug-in
@dorin - two or three checkboxes for each room which can be sorted for example. But you're right, this would be a nice to have feature, not an must have one.
