        This is one of those functions I thought should be in Sketchup right from the beginning -- a really basic but totally useful function.

        I'm one of the folks who can't get the array part of this script to work... I'll take a look at the script and see if I can't get to the bottom of it , but does anyone already know why?

        Best,

          Jason, did you make sure to do everything in exactly the right order?

          for the array function to work you have to select the first component, then right click > 'play it again'. then type in something like 5x (make sure to type in an axtual 'x' and not a *). and then click the second component...

          I think this behavior could be optimized to better fit into the native SketchUp workflow, as I already explained in the third post of this page...
          I still hope, that at some point someone will hear my pleading and will perfect the script πŸ˜„

            I did try that but I'll try it again, maybe I gave up on that avenue too quickly as it did not seem to make much sense to me in regards to Sketchups natural workflow...

              Are you sure you are working with components? Groups are not supported.

                Yeah, I'm a moron -- it works fine, I just didn't get the procedure correct.

                Thanks for the help.

                  I think the plugin should be on first post, also with changelog and updates (if any). It's easier to follow and if the topic gets large, the user doesn't have to crawl on all posts to find the download πŸ˜„

                        Wow, cool plugin, I can't believe I never noticed it before and I'm surprised how old it already is... but it still works fine in SU2016. Though I can't get it to make multiple copies with a single click (using the tutorial on the first page of this thread) and I discovered that as soon as I change the camera position (zooming is fine) it starts again with the first component. Not big issues though and it's a very useful plugin!

                          I've having the same issues as Pherim in that I have to change the camera view & click the original component, not the copy. The other issue I have is that it copies in the opposite direction from the first one in SKUP 2015 - weird.
                          Great idea for a plugin though.

                              It is cool tools, but it can not run in Sketchup 2018, it said not support *.rb file

                              May I ask for update version for Memory copy in *.rbz format?

                              Thanks.

                                The latest version of this script is in RBZ format in the PluginStore:
                                https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=xformclone

                                Alternatively you can add any lone RB into your Plugins folder 'manually'...
                                It's called 'xformclone.rb' in this case.

                                Lone scripts like this are 'unsigned' and therefore newer versions of SketchUp must have their Extension Manager Loading policy set to Unrestricted.

                                Since it's an old script I am uncertain about its compatibility with newer versions...

                                  TIG, this tool has big problems with precision (rotation is OK, fails at moving)
                                  I tried your Grow.rb- works perfectly. So maybe it's possible to update this script inserting some portions of Grow.rb please? Thanks in advance.
                                  P.S. Please see attached: try to make >30 copies upward. The script just can't put components exactly on Cpoints
