          Hi folks.

          If you want to practice with native tools, it takes only two quickly done rotations.

          Don't forget this trick from the help:

          http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=94897

          See this SU file for ideas:

          What Jean said. Best tool! πŸ‘

            Hi folks.

            Another quick method based on Gerrit's (Wo3Dan's idea).

            Two variants shown in the 2 scenes of this SU file:

            fastest_rotation-2 - V6 - JL.skp
            Just ideas.

                Hey
                One component already on the orgin plane this make it easy to do,
                if you have scaleGroupFloat_dj.rb loaded.

                target save and move meathod:

                step 1: Make one component unique. (right click to context list)

                step 2: 1-time left click of the component you want to change. Save target, via scaleGroupFloat_dj (press ok).

                step 3: 2-times left click set axes to component and 3-times more edit select the object of the component . Using the Move to target, via scaleGroupFloat_dj.(press ok), will auto aline component to orgin plain. Now select ouside of component now your done.

                All above steps is shown here

                If both were non aline to orgin plain then do other with step two and three too.

                Advance woking of this; just add the axes tool into the mix. then turning object is just a breeze, for those tools that needs to be aline to x-y plain for z axis drops .

                examples usesages to
                [Plugin] Color by Z
                drop
                sandbox.rb
                smartdrop.rb
                TIG-drapematerials.rb
