      Have you activated its Extension from within Preferences.
      You might also then need to activate its Toolbar...

              In your list there's 'GhostComp%201' what's that ?
              Looks like an html based name ?
              There ought to be a folder called 'GHOSTCOMP_Dir_10'
              containing these files Capture.PNG This suggests you has mis-installed it...

                  Hello Fredo, thanks for another great plugin. So I startet to use it and it worked just fine. I've lots of railings in my model, some are just copies of components but I also had to make a bunch of them unique and to tweak them. Finally making even one copy of an component took so long I decided to use your ghostcomp. And it worked - but now Sketchup always chrashes when I try to create a ghost component. Do you have any advice or idea what to do about that? Thanks in advance.

                    Please make sure you have the most recent versions. For the crash, it may be some conflicting plugins (some versions of Vray and Podium for instance)

                          The concept behind GhostComp is to associate a simplified version to a component (called Ghost). Then the script provides an easy way to switch back and forth between the Ghost version and the Real version in the model.

                          Hi Fredo,
                          I integrated this concept into the last version of 3D Tree Maker, with a function that could be called by external plugins to switch/and back from full view to proxy view. the good thing is that in proxy view only object information needed to rebuild the object is kept in object dictionary, not all the real edges/faces.
                          If you think it could be interesting to integrate calls to 3DTreeMaker from your plugin, let me know.
                          Yours

                            Sure. Thanks for thinking about GhostComp

                            I would need to revisit this plugin, but it is a good idea to integrate custom ghost for certain kind of components.

                            I'll have a look and advise.

                            Fredo

                              Things to know before calling :

                              • those functions contain purge of unused component definitions and unused materials (after drawing a tree or its proxy). So to be called outside of a loop browsing each component definition, and list of definitions to be rebuild if needed after calling.
                              • it contains start/commit, I do not know results of nesting multiple start/commit, so preferably call outside of start/commit.
                                Needs v1.10 at least (not implemented in previous versions).

                              Did not tested, but this should work :

                              #To switch all trees to proxies
                              if file_loaded?('3darcstudiotreemain.rbโ€™)
                              M3darcstudiotree.f3das_changealltoproxies
                              end

                              #To switch all proxies to trees
                              if file_loaded?(โ€˜3darcstudiotreemain.rbโ€™)
                              M3darcstudiotree.f3das_redrawall
                              end

                                Fredo6 I like your plugin but with SU2014 on windows7 I can't change
                                from bounding box to wireframe mode, its always bounding box. Any suggestion?

                                Thanks

                                Sorry, I found a solution. First must to choose a type than create
                                ghost and turn it on. Perfect ๐Ÿ˜†

                                      I wish there was a-la multiscatter point display (maybe instead of points which can be accidentally deleted with 'Delete Guides' small tiny lines could make the same task). ๐Ÿ˜’

                                        Is this plugin still functional? I downloaded it, unzipped it to the specified folder, checked my FredoLib was up to date, and SketchUp complains that there is no FredoLib to support GhostComp. I don't understand why.
                                        Why didn't you get the RBZ from the PluginStore, then install that ?
                                        Unzipping olde things and messing up with the results' installation went long ago - with v7...

                                        Ensure you have the latest LibFredo:
