      Right-click on a ComponentInstance and choose "Replace with Proxy Component" to flip it into a box.
      Right-click again to restore the original geometry.

      Adam, I can't seem to get this plugin to work.

      If I right click on a component, the component doesn't box up. If I click it again, it disappears altogether.

      Any clues? Mac OSX perhaps?

        Got the proxy plugin working- but only with specific types of components, ie it doesn't seem to work with 2D components (not that this really matters at this stage though πŸ˜„ )

          Hi,
          I also have a plugin called "proxy" on the RLD: http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/plugin_details.php?id=599 by A. Billyard: "Swaps component definitions with bounding boxes."
          Does this one do the same thing ? Apparently yes.

                I love this plug in. If it did batches or mixed selections I'd be over the moon. I like to make all my furniture and appliances proxies and switch them back for viewing or publishing but doing them one at a time is a bummer.

                  cc, I have sent you, by personal message, my version of Bounding Box View. It works with individual components or a selection.

                  Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

                    Got it and using it! Works great I place all my heavy components on a layer and use select all on layer and bingo a punch of simple boxes.

                    Here is a little trick. Some times snaping to a point on some components can be a pain. So I just make a proxy move or copy it using the proxy rectangle which is easy to find points on and then just switch it back.

                    Anyway thanks!!!

                      I liked a lot this plugin, until I had a bugsplat, and my autosave didn't store the original models of the proxy cubes.

                        I installed the finder plugin but I can't find it in my Scap, I right-click and it's not found, what do I do?

                          Proxy View plugin does not reveal the component.

                          Suddenly the plugin stopped working, and I have all my blocks stuck in the proxy. Not returning to component.
