[Plugin] Rotate 90 around [X, Y, Z] axis

@hfm said:

okay, very nice script... but could you please also make it work on X and Y axis? And make it so that you can select a shortcut for the tools?

Tried to edit it myself but my knowledge of ruby is lacking
[did get the 15 degrees to work though ]

I don't know much about ruby either, but here is a simplified version of the plugin:

rotate around the component origin instead of center
only around z axis and 90 degrees
no context menu, a line in the plugin menu instead (so you can add a keyboard shortcut (pop up menu, window>preferences>shortcut

How do I use this plugin I put the file in plugins and there is nothing in plugins dropdown and nothing when I right click.

Great plugin when mapped to a shortcut. Thanks Clark!

FYI everybody, Clark just headed up a local meetup about ruby programming.

Sorry, does anyone know hot to use this very useful plugin in SketchUp2016? I tried just putting it with other rb files in rooth folder, but it didn't work. Help please!

Hello! Thanks for the plugin! For some reason Im having problem assigning a keybouard shortcut for certain actions. The plugin does not appear in shortcuts list.

How can I do that?

Thank you.

Do you have a group or component selected in the model? Like other Context menu items, you need to have something selected that would make this plugin appear in the menu.

How to make only the axis of a component or a group rotate?

This Plugin is the bomb.. such a simple task, but mapped to shortcuts is so powerful. i use this everyday and would be genuinely lost without it. Thankyou!!

Imagine if there was a tool handled rotation, translation and scaling.....
