      Hello Everybody,

      I am a pretty experienced user of SketchUp. I am just looking to a native tool or plugin that would allow me to change axis of all components and groups in my model to the world axis.

      The issue: I have hundreds of objects in my model and I recently geolocated and rotated all of those objects to match my geolocated site. Now, all of my components and groups have a different axis rotation (inside the group) than the world origin. It would be too much for me to go into each and every object and match my world origin because of the amount of unique objects (and group nesting) I have done.

      Can anyone please suggest something?

        Would something like Tig's Originate component axes be what you are after.

          I tried that but it doesn't appear to do anything in the 2018 version of sketchup.

          (EDIT) It also doesn't include groups (only components)
