      It's just very natural to want to enter the exact angle in the VCB after rotating the component.

      Hi

        Yup. I added a couple of things today, like being able to rotate groups. And click on other instances to adjust another object without existing the tool. Will hook up the VCB shortly.

            I was thinking about a new possibility for this tool. It would be like this: we selected the object, we activated the tool, and they appear in the screen a circular menu around the object with possibilities of we can rotate the object in predefine angles , as for instance, in 45 degrees. In the image example, only the dog house is geometry, the rest is the menu. For rotate the object, we chose desired arrow.

              Have you installed "ThomThom's Menu" ? If you did - then the location is different than the default Tools menu.

                I new to installing plug-ins to sketchup. I've installed your script into the plugins folder but nothing is showing up in the tools menu after restarting sketchup. I'm using SU 7.1.

                    This is massively helpful for me. I wish I would have noticed it earlier.

                      Hi Thom,
                      Nice plugin!
                      I can't seem to be able to select other objects when in the tool.
                      Also it works only after I've selected an object. If nothing is selected, and the tool is run, nothing much happens... maybe I'm missing something?

                      Thanks!! Many Cookies!!!

                        What other objects are you trying to select? What type of entities?

                            Hmm... that should work, after the tool is active it should be possible to click other components (in the same context though)

                              I click to turn the tool on. I click on any component, and it just doesn't do anything. Only if I have a component pre-selected and then activate the tool it works. But then I am limited to playing around with only that component. I cannot select other components without exiting the tool, selecting, and then running it again...

                              Maybe it's cause I'm using sketchup 2015 and not 2016?

                                Shouldn't be any difference between SU2015 and SU2016. This extension was created years ago.

                                Can you video-capture what you do? Maybe share a model?

                                    Hm... I wasn't able to play that in WMP. What codec are you using?

                                      I must have messed up something with the video, here it is on youtube instead:

                                        Huh,... looks like this isn't implemented after all. I must be confusing it with another extension.

                                          Strange. It works well for me in SU 2016
