        Do my eyes deceive me?
        Does this reset the origin of the component where you please?

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

              Thanks for the gift. May be could you translate or give us the file to translate Axis positionning names( it's still cyrillic written 💚 )

                Did I translate correctly?

                  A plugin like this was overdue. Thank you so for this productivity increasing plugin. Creating lots of face me components was always annoying a bit because of centering the axis, now its fun - 👍 you're great!!!!!

                    Ok, now I understand! - it seemed no different than the built-in Change-axis feature. But the preset positions are nice!

                    Hi

                      Nice tool! You might think to change the icon, because is already one in SU and this can be confusing. 😄

                        Doesn't Right clicking the axes of the component and selecting "change axes" already do what this plugin does?
                        I don't see the difference or the need for it. Anyone can enlighten me?

                          This plguin adds some pre-defined axis locations, so you don't have to set the axis manually. If you know you want the axis set to the middle, bottom of the component, then this plugin will do it for you. Otherwise it could be tough to do, like in his first image example. That one would require drawing construction lines or temporary geometry in place to then align the axis to.

                                Missed this one -- nice little addition! I hated having to add temporary lines to find corner snap locations 😄

                                  Very cool plugin -- if only someone would generate something like this that used the ease of setting axis position of this ruby combined with the align scripts function to move groups and components to each other... it's actually something I've wanted since I first started working with Sketchup but was always too afraid to try 👊

                                  Anyhow I took a stab at making a clearer english version of it and while I was trying to sort that out I decided to cobble together a context menu to make switching between them quicker...
                                  just added this stuff at the end.
                                  ` if( not file_loaded?("axiscomp.rb") )

                                  UI.add_context_menu_handler {|menu|
                                  if(Sketchup.active_model.selection[0].typename == "ComponentInstance")
                                  menu.add_separator
                                  sub=menu.add_submenu("Orient Component Axis")
                                  sub.add_item("Absolute Center") { centrcomponents1 }
                                  sub.add_item("Bottom Center") { centrcomponents2 }
                                  sub.add_item("Top Center") { centrcomponents3 }
                                  sub.add_item("North-West Corner Bottom") { centrcomponentsright1 }
                                  sub.add_item("North Side Center Bottom") { centrcomponentsrightstorona }
                                  sub.add_item("North-East Corner Bottom") { centrcomponentsright2 }
                                  sub.add_item("East Side Center Bottom") { centrcomponentsperedstorona }
                                  sub.add_item("South-East Corner Bottom") { centrcomponentsleft2 }
                                  sub.add_item("South Side Center Bottom") { centrcomponentsleftstorona }
                                  sub.add_item("South-West Corner Bottom") { centrcomponentsleft1 }
                                  sub.add_item("West Side Center Bottom") { centrcomponentszadstorona }
                                  end #if ok

                                  }

                                  end`

                                  Thanks again.

                                  Best,
                                  Jason.

                                    I actually wanted a Center East option today and realized it wasn't there.

                                    Expanding the options shouldn't be hard, but the menu could get kinda crazy. Something like this would work:

                                    
                                    axis=menu.add_submenu("Orient Component Axis")
                                    
                                    	top=axis.add_submenu("Top")
                                    		top.add_item("Center") { function }
                                    		top.add_separator
                                    		top.add_item("North") { function }
                                    		top.add_item("North-East") { function }
                                    		top.add_item("East") { function }
                                    		top.add_item("South-East") { function }
                                    		top.add_item("South") { function }
                                    		top.add_item("South-West") { function }
                                    		top.add_item("West") { function }
                                    		top.add_item("North-West") { function }
                                    
                                    	middle=axis.add_submenu("Middle")
                                    		middle.add_item("Center") { function }
                                    		middle.add_separator
                                    		middle.add_item("North") { function }
                                    		middle.add_item("North-East") { function }
                                    		middle.add_item("East") { function }
                                    		middle.add_item("South-East") { function }
                                    		middle.add_item("South") { function }
                                    		middle.add_item("South-West") { function }
                                    		middle.add_item("West") { function }
                                    		middle.add_item("North-West") { function }
                                    
                                    	bottom=axis.add_submenu("Bottom")
                                    		bottom.add_item("Center") { function }
                                    		bottom.add_separator
                                    		bottom.add_item("North") { function }
                                    		bottom.add_item("North-East") { function }

                                    		bottom.add_item("North-West") { function }

                                      May be could you translate or give us the file to translate Axis positionning names

                                      Did I translate correctly?

                                      Центра компонента>>>      Center of component>>>  
                                      > "Центр компонента  "            "Center of component  "
                                      > "Низ центра компонента  "      "Bottom of center of component  "
                                      > "Верх центра компонента  "     "Top of center of component  "
                                      > "Левый дальний угол  "         "Left distant corner  "
                                      > "Левый ближний угол  "         "Left near corner  "
                                      > "Правый дальний угол  "        "Right distant corner  "
                                      > "Правый ближний угол  "          "Right near corner  "
                                      > "Центр на левой стороне   "      "Left center   "
                                      > "Центр на передней стороне  "    "Front center   "
                                      > "Центр на правой стороне         "Right center   "
                                      > "Центр сзади                     "Back center  "

                                        I am teaching some video lessons on the Dynamic Component functions of Sketchup Pro and I would like to utilize a modified version of this plugin and give it to the students as I think it could simplify the DC creation process... what is the proper protocol for passing this on to others?

                                        Best,
                                        Jason.

                                        I create video tutorial series about several 2D & 3D graphics programs.

                                            Does not mean you can share things around as you like. You need to get the permission of the author unless you find some written statement that the author allows redistribution.
