        Hi Chris, or any one, if you can help me with the above code so the the axis tilt's without rotation, we can improve the plugin.

          Thank you for your work, this plugin already came very handy for pointing Twilight spot lights inside SU, did the job in seconds as the axis center of the lights is centered, I just pointed the light without the fixture for a small change in the z-axis target.

              It should as it is not rendering engine specific but points the SU component. Give it a try!

                Updated point component plugin includes beta code for pointing IDX light fixtures as an adjustable light for rendering purposes. IDX provides a free download for those who wish to test rotating the beam of a adjustable light fixture. Read the top post for "beta" limitations.

                  Update improves accuracy of rotated components.

                    Hi Honolulu,
                    Thanks for posting the plug-in.
                    For some unknown reasons, I don't have a plugin folder in my computer. I have a MAC.
                    I am using Sketchup 8 Pro.

                    Here is what I see inside my computer:

                    my username - library - application support - Google Sketup 8 - Sketchup - and then these folders:
                    Autosave, Materials, Old colors

                    If I don't have a "Plugin" folder, what should I do?

                    Thank you so much in advance,

                    Kind regards,

                    Caroline

                      Hi again Honolulu,

                      Would you happen to have this same plugin in a rbz file? Maybe it could work with my Sketchup 8 Pro?

                      Thanks again,

                      Caroline

                        Hi Caroline,

                        Simply rename the ZIP file extension to RBZ and you can use the install extension function under SketchUp > Preferences > Extensions (in SU version ๐Ÿ˜Ž

                        Gai...

                          Thank you Gai for your quick response.

                          I tried the Sketchup - Preferences - Extensions - Install Extensions ; with renamed .rbz plugin in the zip file, as unfortunate as it is, there is an error message appearing saying "impossible to install extension"...

                          Would you happen to have an B plan? Thanks again!

                          Best regards,

                          Caroline

                            Did you rename the original ZIP extension to RBZ? Or something inside the ZIP files? (Sorry, it is not clear to me what you did)

                              Oh.. do I LOVE this plugin. I have been struggling with IDX Renditioner lights for weeks and was even planning to use another rendering tool JUST because of light placement. This tool saved me lots of time and money....

                              Thanks so much Honoluludesktop.
