This is a great plugin... but... I can't get the icon to go away. I am on a Mac Yosemite, SketchUp 2015 and 2016 had the same problem. Install the extension, close the toolbar, restart SketchUp and the tool bar appears again.

Otherwise, wonderful extension.

I think you'll need to edit the plugin yourself...
I'll see if I have a copy and what line needs the tweak...

Thanks John. I have done that with most plugins... once someone points me to the code or the line...
But I'm not at all capable or writing Ruby... so I thought I'd ask.

without testing...
in the menu ruby, you need to change line 63 rnd_renamer_tb.show

		rnd_renamer_tb.restore

it should then honour last state...

that worked. thanks....

also figured out how to change the HTML window size, always bugged me that the content didn't show in the window and i'd have to stretch it to see what i was doing.

Hi,

Does anyone know if Rename by Layer v1.0.3 works in SketchUp 2015 or SketchUp 2016? I am not familiar with the tool, but tried it in SketchUp 2015 (on Windows) today and although it loaded I could not get it to do anything. Above, somone mentioned SU 2015, but I think on Mac, not sure if the OS would matter.

Thank you for this very useful plugin.

I miss two things to be even better for my workflow. I guess it is not hard to change them for one who knows whats doing...

Is it possible to dig deep to all nested groups - components instead of one level only?

I am adding the "prefix" & "suffix" feature for the numbers.

How to make plugin start with this option not selected?

Idea:

As JQL mentioned usual procedure of structuring SU model in a BIM manner is to group several groups-components and put them on layer, say WALL. They stay on layer 0. Good workflow could be to name all Layer 0 groups - components by their material, say "brick" so we have the complete information that it is a brick component of composite wall building element.

Is it doable?

Thanks again for great plugin.

I know this is an old forum but I have an addon from smustard that groups by layers. When it does this the new group created does not have an instance name. But the underlying geometry still has its name. I was wondering if there is a script to rename the new groups based on the name of the layer that its geometry is on since all of the groups geometry is on the same layer.

Hello. Thanks for your plugin. I have been looking for something like that for a long time. I like everything, but there is something I would like to change. I do not need the "#" sign in front of the component name. Tell me how can I fix this? Thank you very much!

Hi,

Here is an RBZ of Rename by Layer
After installing please restart SketchUp.

This is a very old plugin so I modified the code a bit, but it still needs a mayor update.
