      Hello Everyone,
      I'm currently working on a model exported from archicad to sketchup. I have around 30 windows that are identical but each one is a group with its own name. My question is: Is there any plugin that can make those groups into components but with one name?

      Thank you

            I'm afraid TT's 'Groups to Components' plugin wont work for this application due to transformations made to the groups - windows rotated to each side of the house. You may have better luck with S4u's s4u_toComponents http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=484308#p484308 It is $20, but worth it if you're doing professional work...(if your working with archicad then you're doing professional work). I even use it in place of SU's native create component command...it's much faster, if you don't need the dialog...which you only generally need if you're making a cutting or follow me component. (I work with Archicad exports...so I feel your pain...)
