Append to Multiple Layers
-
Hey guys,
I organize my layers in SketchUp using a naming convention to keep things manageable and in the order I want.
Ex:
Car 01 - Body
Car 01 - Wheels
Car 01 - Graphics
Car 02 - Body
Car 02 - Wheels
...Does anyone know of a plugin that I could use to replace or append a word to the beginning of multiple layers at once?
So select a bunch of layers and replace 'Car 02' for 'Car 03'. Or even just append something to the beginning so I could redo my naming to be A, AA, AAA, etc.
In the above example each car only has 3 sub-criteria but in my actual model each one has about 15, so every time I want to copy a car in order to then add variations I need to go through manually and rename at least 15 layers.
Any tips much appreciated

Try TIG's 'TIG_LayersFromList'

+1 for TIG's Layers From List, it has a companion script called Layers To List (or something like that). I've used them both and it's quite useful and simple to use.
Also take a look at EasyGroups if you intend to rename groups / components.
