[Plugin] Mirror
-
To clarify things.
Most Plugins and Extensions at SketchUcation are free to download and use.
If you find they are useful, then you can always make a voluntary donation via PayPal, using the button associated with the tool's entry.
The choice to pay something is yours.
If you use these Plugins commercially [as you seem to be] then you might feel some compunction to give back something in return, but it is not compulsory.
So if some Plugins save you considerable time and effort, then making a donation of a very small proportion of what you earn would seem fair?Rather than distribute copies of these yourself, I recommend that you point others to the SketchUcation PluginStore, so that they can get them direct.
You should never sell things which can be got for free.A few Extensions are available to buy through the Shop.
Obviously you pay for these and should not distribute them to others.
일을 명확히하기 위해.
SketchUcation의 대부분의 플러그인 및 확장 프로그램은 무료로 다운로드하여 사용할 수 있습니다.
그들이 유용하다고 생각되면, 당신은 항상 도구의 항목과 관련된 버튼을 사용하여 페이팔을 통해 자발적인 기부를 할 수 있습니다.
무언가를 지불하는 선택은 당신입니다.
만약 당신이이 플러그인을 상업적으로 사용한다면 (당신이있는 것처럼) 대가로 무언가를 돌려주는 약간의 징계를 느낄 수 있지만, 강제적 인 것은 아닙니다.
따라서 일부 플러그인으로 상당한 시간과 노력을 절약한다면 수입의 일부를 기부하는 것이 공정 해 보일 것입니까?이러한 복사본을 직접 배포하는 대신 다른 사람이 SketchUcation PluginStore를 가리 키도록하여 직접 가져올 수 있도록하는 것이 좋습니다.
무료로 얻을 수있는 물건을 절대 팔지 마십시오.상점을 통해 구입할 수있는 몇 가지 확장 프로그램이 있습니다.
분명히 당신은 이것에 대해 지불하고 다른 사람들에게 배포해서는 안됩니다. -
Anyone else has experienced crashes using the mirror plugin in V2020?
Mirroring nested groups and/or components several times have caused a crash of SU (bugsplat screen). Sometimes it goes ok, sometimes not.
Saving the file now before using the command. Pre 20 never had to do that.
-
I've tested it quite a bit in v2020, and do not see any BugSplats...
Anything specific in your case ?
e.g. scaled instances, Outliner open etc ?? -

Strange, nothing specific (to me) although;
- outliner is always open - was never a problem pre v20
- the top part in the hierarchy is a component with axis at the origin
- nested in this main component are many groups.
Will keep an eye open next week for crashes and see if I notice a pattern.
-
Same crash for me with Sketchup 2020...
Sometimes crash, sometimes not. Strange.
Thank you for your work. -
HI, the circle issue again, but currently in V2021 your argument that circle can't be copied without a face is untrue. The circel stays now intact!
Can you correct this behaviour for mirror also?
For CNC work this would be great.... as you probably know.Thanks in advance,
Searchie

It's the way that Sketchup itself works...
Try this manual test.
Make a circle.
Group it - including its face in the selection.
Copy the group.
Edit it, you find that the circle remains a circle.Now make another circle.
Group it - this time excluding its face from the selection.
Copy the group.
Edit it, you find that the circle is now is pieces.Because Mirror has to make a group and copy it to do the scaling/mirroring then it will fail to keep the circle-ness of the circle if it has no face[s] selected with it in the group - exactly as occurs when you do it by hand
It's a shortcoming in Sketchup not Mirror...

Help! I love this plugin (easily the best and my most used of all plugins).
However, my '21 SU (Mac) has been crashing when closing or switching files which, as I understand, is typically a plugin problem. I removed the plugin and it seemed to fix this issue. I tried downloading and re-installing the plugin with the latest version, but that does not seem to resolve the crashes.
Please help! I miss it so dearly.

Mirror doesn't do anything to SketchUp's internal settings.
It works fine for me in v2021 [PC].
What's your MAC OS ?So its use should not be connected...
Can you run it with the Ruby Console open and report any error messages... -
Hello,
I have an idea - it would be very handy to have an axis snapping feature based on keyboard arrows, similar to the one in the native line tool.
The exact behaviour I have in mind is:- Activate the tool,
- Pick first point,
- hit one of the keyboard arrows while guiding a "virtual line" to lock direction: X, Y or Z,
- possibly repeat for the second line, so the two lines will quickly form one of the main planes: XY, XZ or YZ. Alternatively, only one line could be locked to a main axis, and the other would be drawn freely.
Sure, there is axis snapping for this tool already, and it works well. Though, in some situations using arrows to instantly snap the "virtual line" to axes would benefit for working speed.
It's just a suggestion, if you have time and will to further develop this tool

The Mirror extension doesn’t seem to be locking to any axis when arrow keys are pressed.
Sometimes its very difficult to lock to a particular axis with cursor(mouse) only.Using arrow keys to lock to a particular axis would be a very helpful feature to this extension.
Just like native drafting tools in sketchup. -

Try adjusting your viewpoint in the model, then it works as well as the native line command.
