Duplicate of component definition
-
Is there a good and easy way to make a copy of a component definition.
I can not use make_unique since the component only has one instance.I could copy all the entities of the component into a new group and make that a component but then i have duplicate data in the model
Thx!

Add a new instance and make that unique?
-
Like this?
x=Sketchup.active_model.entities.add_instance(definitionname)
x.make_unique
x.definition.name="blabla"Then how do i delete the instance again so that i only have the new definition in the library?
Thx Thomthom for the quick help

So what are you cooking?

Checking some small bugs in our plugin.
The smaller they are, the harder they are! -
What plugin go you develop Pout? I was just talking about this the other day - there are quite a few developers here that I have no idea what they are working on. I'm pretty sure I rememeber seeing somewhere what plugin is yours (one of the renderer plugins maybe?), but I do not rememeber what it is. Just curious,

Hey Chris,
We are the developers of the 4D Virtual Builder for Sketchup plugin
Hope you already had the time to test-drive it.Since I'm not a native Ruby developer this forum has been a great help!
