pretty kool.... I often use more than one instance of SU... I'll give it a whirl on my Pro 8.

[dukejazz]

Verified it works on the PC with sketchup free, pro, 6,7,8 and 8m2

Not verified yet on the Mac yet, Let me know if its works for you.

I may put it in file menu area instead of contxt menu

This plugin is helpful, but it took me time to understand how to use it
too many options for me ... and "Another sketchup plus" is even more complicated

KISS... ("keep it simple, sir" approach)

I basically need only 2 options:

move select
select all exit

and this is how i proceed in detail:

select the detail i want to modify in the first sketchup session window
right click, "another sketchup > move select"

the selection disappears from the first sketchup window and a second sketchup session is opened with the selection in it.

modify the detail as needed; when it is done:

right click anywhere in the second sketchup session, "another sketchup > select all exit"
message asks if i want to save modifications (no...)
i come back to the first sketchup session
and this is the important step: go the "menu > edition > paste on place (or something similar)"

the detail appears in its previous position, and with the modifications

If these options are all that i need, i guess it will be the same for some other sketchup users...

The only detail that disturbs me is the messagebox when a sketchup session is opened; would there be a way to get rid of it?

Yes, the messagebox has been removed; it is much more convenient, at least for me

[sadyo]

Thanks dukejazz, it's very usefull plugin,

btw, I am using dj_another_sketchup Ver. 1.2a KISS options now, but how to make the toolbar appearing again like when I'm using Another Sketchup ver 1.2?
I'm no see it in View > Toolbar

Thank you dukejazz for the reply.

With the new version still no luck.

The plug-in is loaded, the toolbar is shown, and the menu is added, but after that an error box pop up (see attachment).
