      Hello. Maybe you can help me. I am looking for a plugin or code that can convert complex components into simple first level. Thanks.

        Do you mean you want to get rid of the child components inside the larger parent component?

            Right click on the components you need to explode and select Explode. No need for an extension.

              Thanks, I know that. I use blb-bois plugins for woodworking https://www.blb-bois.com/dao/plugins-sketchup and they only work with simple components. My DCs are very complex and sometimes I have to explode 100 ... 300 components. I know about explodes plugins on sketchUcation but they work from the bottom up. I need the opposite.

                I use the CutList extension and it reports the bottom level components only so there's no need to explode parent components at all.

                I do not need to report. I use the Assemblage plugin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GbwPRm7qxg
