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?
  1. A breakdown of area values,
  2. The ability to create a list of key/value pairs,
  3. The capacity to multiply any given area by one of those values, and
  4. The resulting subtotals.
    [/list=1]

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

    Follow me here;

    Code: Select all

    [b][i]Key value list[/i][/b]
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

    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,
