[REQ] Tool to reset AND align group/component axes

Rich O Brien

Rest to best fit bounding box. There was something that did that Maybe it was on the Ruby Depot?

I do remember it though.

Thanks Rich, never saw it before. But I can't find this tool after inserting into Plugins folder though.

Looking at the code it doesn't seem to have a UI or menu.
Try typing resetAxis in the ruby console.
Maybe someone can make a menu for it?

Edit: Nope that didn't work. I get a:

Error; #<ArgumentError; wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)>
C;/Users/31jsa/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/reset_axes_to_bounding_box_center.rb;2;in `resetAxis'
<main>;in `<main>'
SketchUp;1;in `eval'

Interesting, whether it treated multiple items (before get broken). It'd be awesome to get it back.

@sumaster :

Hi,

I was the webmaster of the former 'Ruby Depot' and found what you are after on a (very) old external disk. I've enhanced it a bit (selection control, command in the 'Tools' menu, bugs fixed).
It works for groups and components, but be aware that it will NOT re-orient the bounding box.

Regards,

(Put it in your Plugins folder):
