[Plugin] Axes Tools

Fabiazz

This what my doctor ordered, a full dose of axes tools. When making game model in sketchUp I always adjust the axes to fill the game need but i just can't get it centered on the object fast enough. This plugin sure cured that problem.

Hi, I have created a simple box model in free Sketchup 8 and want to set the origin of the model's bounding box to exactly its center. I tried with this plugin but after running it on my model in Sketchup nothing happens.

Is this Axes Tool / Insertion Point Plugin not the correct solution for my needs, or have I missed something here?

Thanks!

Are you trying to set the axis of your model or a component?

This plugin only changes the axis of selected groups/components - not the model axis.

Thanks, I managed to get the functionality that I was looking for with this plugin:

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.

Hi Thomthom - is the above possible. Used your Axes plugin a lot (thanks) but wonder whether you are able to add this functionality in to it. Being able to align the axis to the model axis would be great. I started a thread here

but thinking about it this thread is probably a better place for it.

Thanks

Is there a tool or method that will allow a selection of components to acquire the axis of another component all at once?

So simple, so good! Finally I can snap to compo's center when rotating

Hello ThomThom,
can you update the plugin for SU2018 because does not work like on versions before.
Thanks
