Reorient several group axes

[Guillo_Ortiz]

**Hello:

This is a repost from a topic I posted on the official Sketchup forum page (https://goo.gl/BTAECy), but I'm posting it here as well to get more exposure.

I created a set of tubes with the lines to tubes extension and each individual tube has its axes oriented to the global axes (as expected).

I want to replace all the tubes with a component.

Is there a way (or plugin) to reorient the axes along the longest edge of each tube to simplify the process? Maybe another plugin that creates the tubes the way I need them?

I could quickly do it one by one but there are too many…

Take a look:

This is what one of the tubes looks like

And these are all the tubes I need to fix (2892!)

I’ll appreciate any help.**
