Reset/zero transformation, scale and rotation

Pixero

Is there a plugin to reset the transformation, scale and rotation of a component?

JQL

Right click menu?

Reset Scale and Reset Skew.

Rotation is harder but if you use the move tool without selecting the component you find the red dot dongles and you can rotate to 0.

Maybe this

unless file_loaded?((__FILE__))
	UI.add_context_menu_handler do |menu|
		sel = Sketchup.active_model.selection
		if sel.first.is_a? Sketchup;;ComponentInstance
			menu.add_separator
			menu.add_item('Reset Scale Rotation') {
				mod = Sketchup.active_model
				ent = mod.entities
				mod.start_operation 'Reset Scale Rotation'
				cmp=sel.first;org=cmp.transformation.origin
				t=cmp.transformation.to_a
				t[0]=1;t[1]=0;t[2]=0;#t[3]=nil
				t[4]=0;t[5]=1;t[6]=0;#t[7]=nil
				t[8]=0;t[9]=0;t[10]=1;#t[11]=nil
				t[12]=org.x;t[13]=org.y;t[14]=org.z;#t[15]=nil
				cmp.transformation=cmp.transformation.set! t
				mod.commit_operation
			}
		end
	end
	file_loaded((__FILE__))
end

Thanks, will try this.

Another option would be to set the Transformation to IDENTITY.

instance.transformation = IDENTITY

This would also move the instance to the Origin, but it's easy to move it back if that's what you need.

Alternatively, could you perhaps reset the object's transformation back to the inverse of what it was ?

obj.transform!(obj.transformation.inverse)

Alternatively, you can delete that component instance, and create a new one with the components window. It will have an identity rotation/scale, just place it on the origin.
