[Plugin] Component Comparison

zangetsu

Hello Thomthom I have a suggestion for this plugin and I am not sure if it is possible to intergrate it into this great plugin or if there's already a plugin in existance.

What I've been thinking is that you have lets say a cube and you have about 40 different types of shapes throughout your model and be able to replace these 40 shapes with that cube in just a right click.

For example Having selected the 40 objects and you right click and select say (replace by) and select the cube.

If this makes any sense at all.

Hmm... Component Replacer?

is it compatible with Sketchup 2015 x64?

thomthom

Yes.
Are you experiencing issues since you ask?

Oh ThomThom, I wish you had more time to improve this plugin, the potential is so great.

And I have a problem with it... hope you can help or tell me what's wrong.

Your plugin DOES NOT WORK with Chris Fulmer's LOOSE TO GROUPS plugin.

I tried it with several models and before writing this post, to be sure of what I was going to write, I created a 1x1x1 cube and multiplied it.

Then I run Chris Fulmer's tool and it surely converted the cubes to objects. They are absolutely the same.

Your plugin however doesn´t recognize them. 0 definitions replaced!

Any idea what may be happening? Why does groups created by LOOSE TO GROUPS are not recognized by your plugin? There must be something "deep down" going on!

AcesHigh

well, now I do not know. I created several cube groups by myself (did not use Chris Fulmer's plugin).

And Component Comparison still did not work.

Exploded the cube groups and created the groups one by one (instead of multiplying a group). Still did not work.

WTF?

It's been awhile since I've used it but just found the same thing as Aces, that it's not working in 2015 with Loose2Groups for some reason. Bummer $:\$

Same for me, I got this in the Ruby Consol :

Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method length' for nil:NilClass> /Users/vico/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/tt_cc.rb:182:in get_transformation_difference'

But with a simple model it works...
don't find why...

@AcesHigh Does it work with groups.. I just installed it on 2023 but seems not to work.. I have other replace components plugin which works only with components.. not groups
