I have literally been forcing myself to not write any, after the earlier innundation of scripts. I do have some ideas, and even one really cool one started, but I told myself I can't do more until I graduate (in like 2 or 3 weeks now!). Yeah, I need to focus on school for a little bit. Then I'll get back up and running on rubies again probably
Thanks for positive feedback.

And here's another option. If you want it to reset the component rotation and scale, edit the ruby file in a plain text editor (like notepad for example) and after the line:
if comp.typename == "Group" || comp.typename == "ComponentInstance"add the two following lines:
t = Geom::Transformation.new comp.transformation = tChris

Strangely , I taught similar
Thanks Chris

And this is why SU is the best, works fabulously, thank you!

Is there possible to make change on this script to only move to origin axes X and Y, not Z?
-
Edit the script and change the line
vector = point.vector_to [0,0,0]
to read
vector = point.vector_to [0,0,point.z]
It will then not change the Z -value of the translation...
-
Thanks, it works well. But if I want to move base of object to zero on Z axes? Thanks anyway.
-
So having now got the idea - Edit the script and change the line
vector = point.vector_to [0,0,0]
to read
vector = point.vector_to [point.x,point.y,0]
It will then not change the X/Y values but will set the Z-value of the translation to zero...... -
Hello,
The "Center on Origin" script only works correctly when the drawing axes are at (0,0,0).
However, it is possible to move the drawing axes with Tool -> Axes to somewhere else
that is not (0,0,0).How can center a selection to the currently set origin, which may not be at (0,0,0) ?
Thanks.
-
Unfortunately, there is no access to the Origin of the moved Axes from Ruby.
-
Very cool!
I know this is old stuff already, but would it be complicated to move everything to center (eventually while keeping Z-height), including hidden geometry, section cuts and most of all the Camera views..?Would be very grateful
-
Thanks for this great plugin, that's exactly what I was looking for

I'm having some difficulty using this plug in on nested components that were created with a copy/paste/scale = -1. I was hoping to try a few of the edits cited in this thread but the ruby is a .rbz; My editor tells me its been locked up and uneditable... is there another way to get to the source?
-
The .rbz is just a zip file. Rename it to .zip and then unzip it. Inside there are regular .rb files that you can edit for your own personal use.

Hi Chris,
I installed the new update but now get an error message.

Oh that's not good
I'll have to work on testing this one tomorrow. I'm not sure what has gone wrong, but I'm pretty sure it'll be easy enough to find. Thanks Charly,
Chris

No reason, I have to thank you. Another note, in Sketchup 2013 it works fine.
-
Do you have any of my other scripts installed in 2013?
Also make sure that you deleted the old version that is in SU 8.
Chris
-
I have to correct myself, even in "Sketchup 2013," an error message appears.
Yes I have more plugins from you, see picture below.
-
Hey Charly, the screen shots are useful, but it does not show clf_center_on_orogin.rb listed in the lower screenshot, which I would expect, since you have the folder loaded, and the errors seems to be pertaining to center on origin.
I wonder if you have plugins lost in the Compatibility folders sonwhere. In the plugins folder, at the top do you see "Compatibility Folders" anywhere? See the first screenshot in the following:
Vista's "Show Compatibility Files" and the Scrumptious Wonder that is File Virtualization
I was trying to convert some (totally legal) video files into MP4 format for ...
(www.hanselman.com)
If you have that, click on it, select everything there and MOVE it back into the actual plugins folder.
Then try to restart SU, if you still have issues, take screenshots again and let me see what you have.
Or if you don't have any compatibility folders, could you send me your copy of center on origin? Thanks,
Chris
