[Plugin] CenterPointAll.rb

Thanks TIG
This simple tool helps me rotating components around their centerpoints which is quite complicated in SU.
It would be even more handy if a created centerpoint was interactive, I mean: changed with scaling and moving component or group it's based on. But I realise that would be also much more complicated code.

To rotate about the midpoint of a group or component, use the rotation handles that appear when you use the Move tool.

Evidently you are doing something wrong. I just installed it in SU2018 and ran it. It works fine. How did you install it? Where did you install it? Do you have Guides set to show in the View menu?

Strangely in skup16, the plugin shows up in plugins menu named as "set centerpoint".
And in skup18 it shows up in extensions menu as "Add centerpoint".So finally its working for me. Thanks again.

Sounds like you may have had a different extension installed in 2016. There is one called Set Centerpoint.
Tig's shows for me in 2016 as Add Centerpoint. -
Hate to appear thick but I can't install CenterPointAll in 2018 (vs 8.0.1...). Where do I need to place the plugin?
Thanks!! -
Look here
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=CenterPointAll
which gives you an RBZ which can be installed in v2018 using Window > Extension Manager > Install... [red-button]No need to find the Plugins folder etc...
Almost all Plugins which include an old RB file in their thread will have an entry in the PluginStore, giving an easily installed RBZ for use in all current versions of SketchUp...
Even the now often unsupported v8 had these RBZ capabilities in later MRs,,, -
Thanks!
Been a while since I've used Sketchup. You made an invaluable plugin! -
For those who dislike using the plugin (Extensions) menu I've modified TIGs version to use
the context menu. I find it much faster than moving the mouse all the way too
the top menu bar click and click.pick, right click, click "Point at Center" done.
UI.add_context_menu_handler {|menu| menu.add_item("Point at Center") { model=Sketchup.active_model entities=model.active_entities selection=model.selection model.start_operation("Add Centerpoint") selection.to_a.each{|e|entities.add_cpoint(e.bounds.center)} model.commit_operation } } -

It depends upon what version of SketchUp are you really using. Your profile indicates a version that does not and never has existed.
If you are using SketchUp 2022 Pro, go to Extensions>Extension Manager and click on Install Extension. Then navigate to where you saved the extension, select it, and choose Open.
Better would be to download and install the Sketchucation ExtensionStore tool from Resources at the top of this page and use it to install extensions from Sketchucation.
