[Request]Axis Rotate

[andre51]

Hi, I've imported a whole lot of obj files and they came out well but the blue axis need to be rotated 90deg without the model rotating. I know I can do that one at a time but maybe some plugin can automate the process?

Many Thanks, Andre

Andre, I had a simuliar problem recently and I solved it by exploding and re-creating the components which gives them the default axis orientation with the code below

def reset_axis
  mod=Sketchup.active_model
  ent=mod.entities
  sel=mod.selection
  comps=[]
  if !sel.empty?
    sel.each{|e| comps.push e if e.class==Sketchup;;ComponentInstance}
    for i in 0...comps.length
      dump=comps[i].explode; sel.clear
      dump.each{|e| sel.add e if (e.is_a?(Sketchup;;Face) || e.is_a?(Sketchup;;Edge))}
      grp=ent.add_group sel
      grp.to_component
    end
  end
end
