ms Dims-O
(v1.0.0)
Description: ms Dims-O (O stands for Overlay) provides an elegant, real-time HUD (Heads-Up Display) for SketchUp 2023+. Using the new Overlay API, it instantly displays the X, Y, and Z dimensions of your selection.
- Activate the extension (Extensions > ms Dims > Activate HUD, click on the icon or assign a shortcut);
- Select geometry or an object (group, component) or several;
- Information about the object dimensions appears on the screen in the lower right (you can change the position in Extensions > ms Dims-O > Settings).
Key Features:
- Automatic Detection: Shows dimensions for Geometry, Groups and Component Instances.
- Scale Warning: The "Dimensions:" label turns RED if the selected object has been scaled, warning you that reported dimensions might not match the internal geometry.
- Customizable: Change text size, label text, and position (4 corners) via the Settings menu.
- Non-Intrusive: Works as a native Overlay that can be toggled on/off via the Overlays panel or the included toolbar.
Installation:
- Download the .rbz file;
- In SketchUp, go to Extensions > Extension Manager;
- Click Install Extension and select the downloaded file;
- Ensure the extension is enabled in the Overlays panel (Tray).
COMPATIBILITY:
SketchUp 2023+

Thanks for the upload to the PluginStore/ExtensionStore.
I have Published it for you, so it's now available to all users.
I can see little to comment on - it works fine.
Note thatrequire 'sketchup.rb'etc is not needed in any of your code, because, unlike older versions, it's now auto-required at startup as SketchUp loads, before your scripts are considered. -
Thank you, TIG!
I will tell Google Gemini AI to take your information into account for future extensions.
Have a nice day! -
The 'require' code that is unneeded doesn't break anything, just takes a millisecond to process and immediately ignore, slowing the loading time all but imperceptibly...
Have a good day too...
