[RESOLVED] Guide-Points in Groups or Components

pilou

I want each Guide-point as a Component!

I have something named Convert in Single Components (or Groups)
but alas that convert only one Guide-Point from a selection of guide-points in Component! (or group)
So not each guide-point as Component!
You must relaunch for a new conversion (and again only one) so not very practical!

Loose to groups curioulsly gives also only guide-point as group!

If you have some ideas don't hesitate!

Select Guide Points. Right click on anyone of them. Choose "Guide Points to Components"

unless file_loaded?((__FILE__))
 UI.add_context_menu_handler do |menu|
  if Sketchup.active_model.selection.first.is_a?(Sketchup;;ConstructionPoint)
   menu.add_separator
   menu.add_item('Guide Points to Components') {
    Sketchup.active_model.start_operation "Guide Points to Components"
    cps = Sketchup.active_model.selection.grep(Sketchup;;ConstructionPoint)
    cps.each{|cp|
     grp = Sketchup.active_model.active_entities.add_group(cp)
     grp.to_component
    }
    Sketchup.active_model.commit_operation
   }
  end
 end
 file_loaded((__FILE__))
end
