Convert all groups to components

j40

Hi, I've been looking for a plugin that can Convert all groups in model to components. Is there plugin that can do this?
also, is there plugin that can extract all nested groups/components to individual objects (group/components)?

thomthom

Sketchup.active_model.definitions.each{|d|if d.group?;d.instances.each{|i|i.to_component};end;}

excuse me for my ignorance but what do i do with this code? paste it in to the ruby console and that's it?

also I added to the question another Q:

Do you know a plugin that can extract all nested groups/components to individual objects (group/components)?

uh . . .no. I guess that would be "Explode"

I am not by any means a plugin guru. I just have about 500 of them on my machine __(see topic "how many plugins is too many?" )

I am sure there is something that does what you are talking about. seems to me there was a recent post that listed all of the plugins and their authors with all the links to all their little toys but danged if I can remember what is was titled, and I can't find it.
