        I'm not really sure there is a need for such a script.

        If you right click a face, and choose Align View, does that do what you want?

          What i'm trying to get is :
          In my design has a few perspective view, it's related to rendering, because i'm using 2d texture for the plant, people and several other object. It's annoying when you render a perspective view i must get align all my 2d texture to face my camera one by one, and switch to another view and then......and then....

          One Perspektive

          Another Perspektive

          Right now i'm using Sketchup 5, i've follow your instruction, but i think i miss something on my Sketchup (i don't see a sub menu 'Align with View').

          Thanks so much

            Irfan,

            It would seem that you need to investigate the "always face camera" property for components. This is most often used with 2D images used as objects as you describe. As the name suggests, they automatically turn (around the vertical axis)to face the camera, no matter what direction you view them from. It's discussed in the on-line Help.

                  Kris,

                  I find it's a good idea to keep an eye on things in case you try to pull a fast one.
