        I hardly ever turn mine off either.
        you don't just force quit sketchup when it hangs?

          Usually, but I do have one or to openGL experiments that completely freeze the entire computer.

          I use to use my 'killall SketchUp button' but it wipes out the license, and it's a pain to re-add, because it's actually still there... [ etc, ect... easier to turn it off.

            doesn't work with SU 2013. does not ask for updating when you save the component. the SU podium plugin "edit in place" just crahses my SU when i save. 😞

              In 2013 the geometry will update if, after you edit component and save, you richtclick on the component and "reload" it on the original model window!

              Honolulu,

              I usually work with components as Xrefs. I use save as and reload a lot and also use Xref tools.

              Is there any possibility for this plugin to skip the temporary file and only edit the external file referenced by sketchup, (if it is referenced exists)? This way I wouldn't need to manually open a xrefed file to edit it and your plugin wouldn't change the association between the model component and it's file...

              Another thing it should do before editing that file is that it should overwrite it first before opening it, so one wouldn't accidentaly be editing an older version than the one that exists on the drawing.

              Thanks,

              JQL

                Tragically this tool's author died some time ago...
                So none of his tools are going to get updated... unless someone else takes on the task... πŸ˜•

                  Hi TIG...

                  Thanks for the unfortunate news. One never really knows what's happening to other people's lives behind this forums. That is one hard to deal with.

                  In what concerns to the development of the plugin, I guess someone talented enough to do it isn't around often... πŸ˜’

                  So if those talented people won't offer themselves I guess this could be something simple enough and worthy enough for me to start dabbling with ruby... Do you think it would be very difficult?

                  Thanks,

                    Try it and see - nothing to break except unsaved models... and your spirit πŸ˜‰
                    I'm sure the author is now uninterested, but a credit in the file's header wouldn't go amiss...
                    I have tweaked this script in the past, but I'm too busy to commit much time to it right now...

                      Can we keep this alive? Our old friend would have loved having 64bit.

                          Did anyone have the time to update this extension?

                          As JQL suggested, doing a "save" and then a "reload" does not work for me but doing a "save as" and then a reload does.

                            Hi everybody,

                            Just Downloaded the plugin. Did get pointed to this by BOX in this discussion.
                            https://forums.sketchup.com/t/how-to-open-the-component-skp-file/195138/10

                            TIG is mentioned and knows much more then me about Ruby, maybe it a simple something to get it working.

                            Or are there newer extensions that do the opening of a imported component skp file for editing?
