        TIG,

        Any chance of getting the Xref Manager tweaked to show only the top level components in the Xref Manager dialog bog?

        Thanks,

        chris

          Due to multiple issues, I've gotten to the point where this tool is no longer useful to me.

          These are (in no particular order)

          1. Inability to effectively deal with multiply nested parts. This is due to the fact that ALL xref'd components of ALL components are listed in the manager. This causes multiple rebuilding to be required and WILL go into an infinite loop requiring Sketchup to be shut down.

          2. Issues with sub component names not being updated. A part that I renamed the components did not update properly. Some component names changed, some didn't.

          3. Had issues with component names have #1... being added to them.

          Any chance of getting some of these things rectified?

          Please?

          chris

                    +1, get the tools out and fix it.

                            So does this work as XREF in autocad that it reduces model size and hence adds to speed cuz the model is referenced and not attached or bound, (inserted) into the mother model?

                            If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                              No. You'll have all of the files inserted into the model. It only keeps track of external file changes and allows up to reload them as you want...

                                  Quick basic question --

                                  What is the advantage of the XRef plugin over using the native "Reload" feature on a component?

                                    It batch processes any 'xrefs' and it also tells you which ones need reloading etc...

                                      Gotcha -- so it's a way to tell me when I load a scene that some items have been modified. Without this, I'd have to know which ones had been changed, and then find them individually in the scene to update.
