            Because I design furniture with components. After designing the furniture, I use the ABF solutions plugin to make report list of furniture panels cutting and edges bandings. This plugin only works with groups.
            Maybe you know of another plugin that make report list of furniture panels and edges banding?
            I made a video where I showed what features I need (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85djT5KbnZw)

              You are using SketchUp 2016 Make for your business?

              There are numerous cutlist extensions that work with components.

                There are many extensions that calculate report list of furniture panels cuttings. But none of them count the edges banding

                    I was looking to convert groups into components and found this plugin. It is supposed to show up in a plugin tab. However, there is no Plugin tab anymore.

                    How to access the function on SU 2023?

                    (my use case is exporting parts of the SU model for Lumion phasing animation. For this every part has to be saved separately. There is a plugin that does export every component. however, the groups will not export. So I was looking for ways to convert the groups to components, so I can export it all into Lumion)

                    Thank you.

                      I assume you mean Plugins menu. That was replaced with Extensions some time ago.

                      I just installed this extension in SketchUp 2023. It shows up in the Extensions menu as it should and works just fine.

                        Dave R beat me to the post !
                        The menu tab 'Plugins' was renamed 'Extensions' looong ago...
                        Did you look there ?

                          Hi,

                          You can also take a look at this post: https://sketchucation.com/plugin/2667-componentsplus
                          There is a command in this plugin to export all groups as components in one go.
                          Regards,

                          DB
