              I know this is an operator error. I have noticed if you press the delete key instead of the return, the plugin crashes. Is there a way to capture the delete key so it will not crash Sketchup.

              Yes, I know I should be more careful.

              Thank you for your plugin

                    I have replaced an archaic version of the Mirror tool with your new one and see that the right mouse context choice is now gone and only the icon in the toolbar is there. Could you please re-intoduce the necessary lines in the code to enable it to appear in the context menu....

                    Sorry but i am a creature of habit and the use of the icon interrupts my usual workflow...

                    Thanks in advance.

                              @TIG: Could you make some loader for this ? I would like to have a folder with "MI.png, Mirror.rb and toggleWindows.rb" and a Mirror_loader.rb (or similar). Win32API.so I thinks it's best to stay in Plugins folder, as it is used by more plugins.

                              Thanks a lot.

                                If you want to move files you need to rewrite the menu/toolbar part of their code to ensure the files are found in the new sub-folder.
                                A loader is a simply a file in the ../Plugins/ folder called perhaps myloader.rb containing this line of code
                                load "mysubfolder/myscript.rb"
                                The line can be repeated for multiple files to be loaded...
                                Where mysubfolder is a folder in ../Plugins/ containing the script myscript.rb that you want loading...

                                  Today I noticed when I mirror a component the mirrored copy gets "Scale definition" active. When click to reset it rotates 180 degree, when choose to scale the original now gets "Scale definition"?

                                    The component instance will be scaled '-1' in the selected direction[s]. Resetting the scale should revert to the original scaling... 😕

                                      And may be this is the cause of my troubles with the components getting unique! I did a lot of models with the Mirror Selection - now I just copied instead of mirror and components don't convert to unique!

                                        hello

                                        maybe i've missed something, but I tried mirror 3.5 with sketchyphysics and it won't do the mirror operation... Once the sketchyphisics has been removed no problem... I had thought I had understood that 3.5 fixed this (amongst other things)... shame as it's a great tool.
                                        (using v7 on a vista platform)...

                                        thanks anyway to TIG for all the time & trouble.

                                          This is a known bug caused by SketchyPhysics rewriting the code of some of the API's own Group class, which is used by Mirror. I'm not sure what the issue is.
                                          Perhaps if you bring pressure to bear on the SketchyPhysics side they could fix their code to stop the problem!
                                          AS SketchyPhysics loads after Mirror could you try renaming 'Mirror.rb' as 'zMirror.rb' so it loads afterwards -perhaps what SP breaks will stay OK this way and hopefully SP will still work... 😕

                                            Thanks for yr speedy reply... I tried the workaround, but alas to no avail ! I guess you're right, we have to ask the SP guys to fix there stuff ! Thanks anyway, & meantime their stuff is out & yours is in as totally indispensable (I don't understand why the gogol people haven't put in a mirror command as a basic standard tool like in any other cad program !).
