Currently your layout looks messy. Just group all into ONE default tray and toggle its visibility with ONE aux mouse button. BTW most of the time all trays should be normally closed which is beneficial for program performance

Jim [the author] has withdrawn all of his plugins from here and elsewhere...
Sorry !

Hello, Pixero!

Recently I had a thought:
Would you consider adding STEP functionality to your plugin? I mean setting minimum increment for any transformation, e.g. rotate every 15 degrees from 0 to 45 degrees. Or move any 10m from 0 to 50m. Or scale every 2x from 1 to 6x etc.
I think this could be done with two parameters:

This would be very useful for "semi-randomization", when you want your groups to randomly rotate every 90 degrees roughly, in order to retain sense of orthogonality (sorry if there's no word like this 😛).

And one more suggestion, if I may:
Is it possible to link this thread under plugin's main page? I mean this page:
https://sketchucation.com/plugin/2254-chaos
so that people could instantly access the discussion when seeing the plugin.

Hello!
I'd love to have a version of this plugin which respects group's local axes over world's (model's or global axes or whatever it's called).
Currently, if I select nested geometry and try to align it, it will align according to world's axes. In my opinion, more logical (and useful too!) would be relying on group's axes, because right now, if the whole group is rotated (so its axes don't match world axes) and I open it and align nested entities, they will be aligned incorrect in relation to group's bounds.

Also, when aligning groups it would be nice to have choice whether aligning takes geometry into account (current behaviour) or just origins of groups.

This plugin also has a problem with losing selection after performing UNDO.

I know this is an old script but perhaps somebody would take it and include any of these improvements.

z of rbz = z of zip 😉

I did not know that. Thanks!

I just get a model with thousands of groups and components where all axis are wrong. I'm looking for that plugin too.

Hej,
Where could we found an updated version? clf_repeat_copy itsn't working in SU 2018 or newer.

after the align is done, is there a way to adjust the distance between the surface and the camera to a chosen distance?

Hi,

I can do that, but when dealing with 50+ scenes and 50+ Layers it´s a bit of a pain.

So I keep Layer's panel always active just so it automatically saves layer changes to current scene.

CurviShear indirmek istiyorum ama olmuyor. Yardımcı olabilir misiniz?

Dear Friends,
My new plugin ("MAJ Stair") is published in "Sketchup Extension Warehouse" for free now. I think you can make stairs in any shape by using this plugin. Please let me know your idea about it.

I installed from download file: access to ‘extension warehouse’ failed due to a message statement “there is a script error on this page”...

I am installing on the 2013 version of Sketchup Make.

The Extension Warehouse hasn't supported SketchUp 2013 for a number of years.

As TIG wrote in the post immediately before yours, this extension hasn't been supported. There are other options available, though.

Entirely my pleasure.

With so much legacy stuff that's years old I don't have time to fix them unless it's obvious whats wrong and/or it's 'paid' !
Often the younger coders like Eneroth have made similar tools that are better anyway...

PS: I just tried my FreeRotate in v2021 on my PC and it worked fine !
I can't test it on a MAC as my old-thing can't upgrade Catalina to let v2020 or newer be installed...

I do have two accounts, and posted by mistake using the one I share with Steve Baumgartner (slb_jwm). But I thought I had deleted it immediately I realised I'd used the wrong login, and reposted in my own account.

Sorry for the confusion.

Jim withdrew the majority of his plugins. It may not be available any longer.

hi RV do you have a list for all this plugins you have talk about?

tnx Dean

Bonjour,
Y a-t-il un moyen de diviser un "chemin" continu, composé de segments et d'arcs de cercle ? Application : Pour dessiner un escalier, on peut commencer par tracer la ligne de foulée (ligne imaginaire sue laquelle on marche, en général au milieu de l'escalier) composée de segments pour les volées droites et d'arcs pour les parties tournantes. L'ensemble de cette ligne de foulée est ensuite à diviser par le nombre de marches afin de pouvoir les tracer. L'outil de division est capable de diviser un polygone, une courbe, mais je ne trouve pas le moyen de faire considerer à sketchup qu'une telle ligne de foulée est une et une seule courbe afin de lui appliquer une division.

Merci

Brieg
