1.Fine but could bottom center be default value? Or at least make script to remember last preference.
It'd remember the last used setting.

2.Wouldn't it be smarter not split into 2 commands?
It'd not be between center or bottom center, it's be between any corner, and center of each of the bounding box sides. So it'd be a lot more options than just two.

You made some nice ruby 'groups to components'. But After the procedure it deselects the new born component. Could it keep the selection on?

Yea - easy enough. -

I'm afraid I don't unerstand you. Anyhow what I mean is moving pivot to bottom center + placing cpoint
to the same bottom center within one ruby (command) would be better. -
Some may not want to add a cpoint and some may not want to adjust the axis. Keep them separated and people can choose.
-
You decide (though I see a bunch of rubies that do insert here and there cpoints without too much''people"
protest). The main thing for me that cpoint at pivot would be a part of given component. -
Ah - I can see uses for inside and outside.
Will make a note of that. -
Added CPoint at Insertion Point to Guide Tools: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=30506

Version 1.1.0
- Requires TT_Lib2 (v2.2.0)
- Replaced the old menus with Set Insertion Point

I wish you were SU product manager it'd be entirely different world.

One more thing:
Could this script stick to the current model axes not absolute world? -

It doesn't rotate the axis, it simply moves the origin of the components - the insertion point.Though, it could be made to also rotate the axis to match the current model axis.

Hello sir,
This plugin is very good & handful .....
but when i was applying following Settings :
X (Red) : Right
y (Green): Back
z (Blue): Topselected any group or component its work
but when i was applying again it on another group or component, it will not reset to the default settings ....?
I was changing default MODULE
### MODULE VARIABLES ### ------------------------------------------------- # Preference @settings = TT;;Settings.new('Axes editor tool') @settings[;x, 'Left'] @settings[;y, 'Front'] @settings[;z, 'Bottom']How to reset ......?
Thank you,
Ruturaj -
I remembers the last values you used. Just select what you want from the drop down menus. The "defaults" you refer to is only defaults for the very first time the plugin runs.

oh......... ok.....
Thanks

Hey Thomas, love this little gem.....! So simple yet so powerful!
I have a question.
See the attached images of a plan view:
And a perspective view:
Say I want to set my axis to the rear of the couch, centered and at the bottom. When I followed your axis tool to achieve this I have to input these settings:
Instead of 'X' back, 'Y' centre', 'Z' bottom.
It appears that the options in the dialogue box should be reversed. Don't you think that the 'X' options should be Front/Centre/Right and 'Y' options should be Left/Centre/Right instead of the other way around? It would just make sense according to how you view a model after all from an axis green is naturally north/south or vertical on the page or screen and red is east /west or horizontal......
Love your work!!
PS: Skippy attached FYI.

utiler: Front/Back, Left/Right, Top/Bottom is determined by the components internal axis - not the model axis.
note that this plugin does not change the orientation of the component axis, but just the axis origin. -

note that this plugin does not change the orientation of the component axis, but just the axis origin.Sure, Thomas but whether the internal axis is the same as the model axis the 'X' is still horizontal and so any alignment is either north [front] or south [back]....
I just don't see how you can nominate left or right of a red axis unless the red axis is vertically aligned; which it isn't....
-
The way I view axis:
The way that SketchUp, and most other 3d modelling apps, display the workspace with axis in default scenes.@utiler said:

How can something vertical be considered left/right?
