Why are you waiting? It is already SU2014 compliant and it has been since December. See this.

Yes, TIG has been diligently updating all his stuff. Thanks TIG!

I could not find it in extension warehouse, so now i used a copy from SU2013 and put it in the plugin folder from SU2014. It works! thank you

NONE of my Plugins are in the EWH !
They are ALL in the SketchUcation PluginStore.
They should all be compliant with v2014.
You should NEVER copy ANY plugins across into v2014 from older installation of SketchUp. unless you cannot get a current version.
Most authors have updated their Plugins to be compatible with v2014, so you need to install the latest version.

Krisidious

You should use the Plugin Store and or the SketchUcation Tools that will search and install plugins for you. Many authors here in the forums are not on the EWH.

Fo' shizzle my Krizzle. It's the big T.I double gizzle.

lol

TIG

A "bit of a falling out" in the pre-EWH days... while SCF PluginStore was already being setup...
A loooooooooooong story...
I might forgive them one day

TIG

Here's an updated v4.2, in the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Mirror
I have adjusted the description in the tool's page to explicitly say it's PC & MAC compatible, for all SketchUp versions ! Some users were misunderstanding and assuming it was PC only !
I have also adjusted the script so that now it only installs the additional toggleWindows script [now loaded from .txt] and Win32API.so if the computer is a PC AND the SketchUp version is old [<v2014] - this workaround was introduced to sidestep rare Outliner crash issues, in older SketchUp versions on PCs. This is not needed for newer SketchUp versions, or on any MACs at all - so now if the files were previously installed they are now deleted to keep things tidy.

Mucho gracias

Great plugin. Thanks for the update. I use it quite often. Quite strange this function has never been added to the native SU tools.

Probably this is a single plugin I use most often.

On that note TIG, I have a small request to make. Can you change or allow us to change the settings to have the newly generated object/geometry to be selected after the mirror command?

I'm not changing the established selection staying with the retained original.
BUT it's quite easy for you to adjust your own RB file yourself.
Use Notepad/Notepad++ [PC] or TextWrangler[MAC] to edit it - NEVER use a Wordprocessor with Ruby files.
The existing code at line #392 needs a new line of code adding - just before the 'commit_operation' -

 @ss.clear; nents.each{|e|@ss.add(e) if e.valid?}

Now the selection always passes to the copy, whether or not you have chosen to keep the originals.

Will this plugin work with SU2015?

Dave R

It works fine with SU2015. Do you have some reason to think it wouldn't?

seasdes

Thanks for your reply. The reason that I ask is that SU 2015 is not listed in the Sketchucation store.
