      Does it work with sKetchup 2015.. ?
      I installed but nothing in Extensions>Chris Fullmer Tools> I have there extended views already.. Maybe issue is only the change of "plugins" folder name to "extensions"..

        This is an old toolset...

        However, I are concerned about your comment regarding Plugins folder versus Extensions folder !
        All installed extension/plugins go into your user Plugins folder.
        The renaming of the menu item from Plugins to Extensions is not important.
        Any code referencing the Plugins menu auto-corrects to the Extensions menu.
        This tool appears under the Extensions > Chris Fulmer Tools submenu ???

        https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=clf_scale_rotate_multiple gets you the RBZ...
        Use the built-in Extensions > Installer tool to get it installed properly.

          Hey! Adding a non-uniform scale (1 axis only) would be cool!

          But the plugin is cool anyways πŸ˜„

            And also adding a feature of remembering settings and ability to rotate horizontally and vertically.
            If you have any plans to continue developing this great plug πŸ˜‰

              +1 vote for doing non-uniform scale.
              Let me describe the purpose. I use it for making tiled texture tiling not so noticeable. For example if I have 1 wood plank texture and I create 100 plank faces and apply texture to them - this is Not very convincing. I can add some variation by using Random Select + Scale and Rotate Multiple to rotate some of the planks 180 degrees around their center points. Now tiling is less noticeable. But with Random Select + (-1 Scale X/Scale Y/Scale XY) I can have 8 different variations from a single texture! basic+3 scale variations + 180 rotated+3 its scale variations

                Hi Chris

                I have been using this plugin for years to add some realism to scenes. Just twisting the furniture a little....

                I had to upgrade to Sketchup 2020, and it seems that I can no longer install this very usefull plugin.

                I have tried to install via extension manager, but nothing happens 😞

                Am I'm doing something wrong - or does the plugin not support SU 2020?

                  Not sure that it works with SU2020 but my plugin Chaos does some of the same things.

                    Ah thanks Pixero πŸ˜„

                    Just tried it - and it seems to work.

                    I just have a small problem problem - if I have some chairs standing by a table, I would like to rotate them just slightly, like -1 - +1 degree, but it seems not to work - if I enter small numbers, the objects rotate quite a lot, even if I use -1 - +1.

                    What do I do something wrong?

                    Thanks

                    ps. thanks for linking to the chaos plugin - I think randomness is really needed to create realistic images.

                      Jorgensen, you are doing everything right.
                      The plugin has a bug that rotation values are in radians instead of degrees. 1 radian is about 57.3 degrees.
                      I posted this issue on Chaos' plugin thread but I got no answer 😞

                        Sorry about that.
                        I have uploaded an updated version of Chaos.rb that hopefully have fixed the rotation problem.

                            Hello

                            I use this plugin all the time, but now with SU 2022 it seems to be causing SU to crash on startup. It was the only non-2022 compatible plugin I had, and removing it from the plugins folder has stopped the crashing.

                            I see it is only marked compatible up to v2018, is it not being developed any more? Does anyone know of a good alternative if so?

                            thanks

                              Hmmm.... I just installed it in SketchUp 2022 and gave it a try. Didn't affect startup and it works as expected.
