The only option the plugin lacks right now could be "renaming selection only".

Will try to add this feature for next update.

@jql said:

In other words your dialog would have a logo that would say "My name is: rename by GROUP".

Good idea indeed will see if I can work on it.

An image that crosses my mind would be Swiss Army Kname...

Love it!

@jql said:

However if one could somehow choose to rename/clear only instances names or definition names the job would be handled much easily.

Will see how that can be a feature for next update.

Note: By the way thanks for making me laugh!

Very good updates. It's almost unbelievable that something like this is not already done before.

Krisidious · 14 Sept 2013, 22:51

great idea... really great for organizing models.

the window could be 80% smaller

renderiza · 15 Sept 2013, 05:45

You can make the content smaller by pressing ( ctrl - ). What is the resolution of your screen...can I see screen capture?

In the future maybe collapsible tabs may help but not sure.

Thanks

It is getting really great - BIG THANKS!!
Can We have an option to append the layer name or/and numbers to the existing component's/group's names?

That is good suggestion so lets see if it can be added to next update.

Amazing! Really Really good. A great companion to this is "Layers Panel" - photoshop layers window with nested layers. still in Beta and some wrinkles to iron out but, Like this plugin, very impressive!!

All i could say on a negative - could we have a smaller window? it takes up alot of space and we know the name of it, if we lost the logo (sorry), at least i'd get back half my screen.
cheers for the great plugin

I am a big fan of "Layers Panel" and think everyone should have it...Can't recommend it enough! http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=488833#p488833

Next update should have smaller windows and I agree that the logo is taking too much space.

Thanks for feedback...cheers!

%(#909090)[What is new:

The web-dialog is smaller
Keep existing name - This will include the existing name to the newly created one. For example:
Layer = bed
Existing name = door
Add Number = True / Prefix

Result = 001 - bed - door]

Again thanks for feedback!

Note: Need to recheck "Keep existing name" feature since its not working...will try to fix it as soon.

renderiza · 17 Sept 2013, 19:12

Fixed the "keep existing name" feature but in the mean time it should work only on groups.

JQL · 20 Sept 2013, 09:39

Unbelievable Renderiza, your plugin is now able to rename without changing name? What a paradox... If I didn't see it with my own eyes I wouldn't think it was even possible!

Thank you again,

JQL

I have an idea....
Its struck me that as I work I'm naming as I go. If i do bulk renaming then i really need all the options of the window, If I'm naming as I go then I don't...
to save opening it each time could the last parameter/settings just be stored and a Shortcut key can be assigned. I just press the shortcut and viola .....
no need to open the window and change the settings
Speed increased

This is really good idea!

I first need to become familiar with storing web-dialog parameters/settings with maybe 'HTML5 Web Storage'. After learning how to do that I will try to integrate you suggestion.

Thanks!

Hi,

It seems HTML 5 localStorage & sessionStorage can't work locally without having a server installed so that means I can't use that technology.

Hopefully I can have more luck with 'Sketchup.write_default'.

Thanks!

I'm looking for a plugin or a script that would clear the name field of all components and groups. I tried yours, but i need to do it one component at a time. Any idea of how I could clear all of the names at the same time? Even for nested components and groups?

You can rename a selection of multiple components with this plugin. I never tried renaming to a clear name though.
