SketchUp moves all 'selected' items 'locked and unlocked' when you use the the 'Measurements' input box...

same as box's gif shows...

Well, since it doesn't move them when you make your first input - I think it wasn't meant to be this way.
And also you cannot rotate an unlocked object with the SU ROTATE tool no matter how much you try. Or you can?

here is the same.
nice bug!

it's a fine line....

Before we proclaim it a bug it would be nice to hear someone who has a freshly installed plugin-free SketchUp.
If SketchUp behaves like that even without third-party plugin interfering than I assume it's really some minor mistake in SketchUp itself.

Nice, bugs, Rich.
Which one do you prefer?

it's easy enough to rename the 'Plugins' folder to test...
the issue persist on mac btw...

Oh, since I had TIG suggesting me not to meddle with the Tools folder - I stopped going to the SketchUp folder almost entirely.

By the way, I can't get in SketchUp 2014 Plugins folder anymore in a normal way used in previous versions - I don't see it being present in the SU folder (even with 'Show hidden files and folders' checked). When I need something (to add a lang file for example or to delete a plugin) I use 'reload' leaf component from 3D Tree Maker as a passage into Plugins. But that's a roundabout. And I have to turn off and restart SketchUp many times if I have to make many corrections.
(Question for Windows users):Is there any easier way?

the Sketchucation Plugin has a plugin that adds 'Open Plugins' to its list...

that should get you plugged...

I may give it a try.

Still that means - opening 'Plugins' from inside the SketchUp while you work on some file?

No way through Windows Explorer like in old good times?

Security measures, I guess...

This may help you finding plugins in newer (SU-2014 and 2015) versions:

Thank you, Gerrit!

This is what I've been searching for.

There it is:

SketchUp 2014:
C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins

I don't know why it's there but at least I don't have to start the program in order to meddle with the Plugins folder. Now I can finally make a mess again with no much effort.
