[Plugin] Memory Copy (xformclone.rb)

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...

Best,
Jason.

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.

Best,
Jason.

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
Thanks.

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.

good for mac users also?

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
