[REQUEST] Align Component Axes
-
I'm trying to help new SketchUp user to repair his model. Early in his modeling he accidentally rotated the model axes so most of his components have the wrong axis orientation. I'm looking for a tool that would reset the orientation of component axes to align with the corrected model axes. I've tried a variety of tools I've found in the Sketchucation Plugin Store and EW. A few align the component axes but they move the component's origin to the model origin. Other's allow the location of the origin to be defined (ThomThom's Axes Tool, for example) but it doesn't correct the orientation of the axes. Does anyone know of a tool that will do what I'm after and save the poor guy some time?

Maybe this one but not sure... scroll down for the options
or the UCS Manager by Didier Bur... -
Thanks Pilou. I tried UCS Manager but it won't rotate the component axes to match the model axes. or at least I couldn't get it to do that. The other one moves the axes to the model origin which is not what I want.

Would you want each Component's origin to remain where it already is ?
And then its XYZ axes to then be made parallel with the model's ?? -
No. I think the most logical location would be in the standard lower front left corner as it would be if the component was newly made.

I just get a model with thousands of groups and components where all axis are wrong. I'm looking for that plugin too.
