      In case you folks didn't notice, Pilou has updated his post with a demo sequence.

      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

        Using the Ruby Console

        Sketchup.active_model.selection.first.transformation=Geom;;Transformation.new
        
        

        Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

          About the 3D Align tool by DIdier Bur above. πŸ€“

          And works also even the object is not a group or a component!
          So just a selection of something is sufficient! πŸ˜‰

              As always, there's more than one way to do this. Some great options offered. Here's another one just for the heck of it.

              Rotate.png

              Assuming the cylinder is just loose geometry to start, make it a component, change it's axes so the bounding box is aligned to the geometry with the blue axis in the desired up direction. Bring in a copy of the component from the In Model Component library.

              (THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE)

              G28 X0.0 Y0.0 Z0.0

              M30

              %

                Easy - just open the previous version of your project that you saved before going nuts making the geometry all wonky! πŸ˜†

                    Hi folks.

                    If you want to practice with native tools, it takes only two quickly done rotations.

                    Don't forget this trick from the help:

                            Hi folks.

                            Another quick method based on Gerrit's (Wo3Dan's idea).

                            Two variants shown in the 2 scenes of this SU file:

                            fastest_rotation-2 - V6 - JL.skp
                            Just ideas.

                              Use the rotate function in the Mover2 Plugin..

                                Hey
                                One component already on the orgin plane this make it easy to do,
                                if you have scaleGroupFloat_dj.rb loaded.

                                target save and move meathod:

                                step 1: Make one component unique. (right click to context list)

                                step 2: 1-time left click of the component you want to change. Save target, via scaleGroupFloat_dj (press ok).

                                step 3: 2-times left click set axes to component and 3-times more edit select the object of the component . Using the Move to target, via scaleGroupFloat_dj.(press ok), will auto aline component to orgin plain. Now select ouside of component now your done.

                                All above steps is shown here

                                Movie_0007.gif
                                If both were non aline to orgin plain then do other with step two and three too.

                                Advance woking of this; just add the axes tool into the mix. then turning object is just a breeze, for those tools that needs to be aline to x-y plain for z axis drops .
