Is any feature exist that will automatically re align all bounding boxes to the group? ALl the groups in this case is cubes (timber studs). Itd be great if the shortest side was aligned to say red, second longest to green and third longest to blue. See attached. Thanks.

I think the fastest method to fix those holes, such as in the bottom plate is draw a new edge along the length. To remove the lines use CleanUp plugin set to ignore the materials.

I don't know of any "global" method to do this. AFAIK you have to edit each group, so if you have more to do than this, I'm sorry. Anything close to this scale however seems you can fix faster by hand or redraw than the time it takes to post. (And don't use the same methods again. I can't understand searching for hours for a method to fix mistakes that you don't plan to do again. )

Reverse the backwards faces (blue colored).

Unfortunatley I have giant projects and many of them. Like I said I know this is possible as I have done it before. Curse me for not writing notes haha.

I have searched around for hours and have decided to finally reach out for some help. I have a framed wall with some holes and gaps, the make face addon works great but is there a way to use that addon or one similar to close all the gaps and holes? I had a bunch of old addons and lost them when I had to reinstall windows and I know this is possible. See attached.

Thanks

Can anyone try to clean this up real quick to make sure its not my computer or version or what not. Super simple.

Trying to delete the coplaner faces and get rid of all the extra lines.

Select groups.

Copy and paste the following code into the Ruby Console and press Enter.

mod = Sketchup.active_model
> ent = mod.active_entities
> sel = mod.selection
> sel.grep(Sketchup;;Group).each{|g|
>  pt = Geom;;Point3d.linear_combination(0.5,g.bounds.corner(4),0.5,g.bounds.corner(7))
>  ent.add_text(g.name,pt,[0,0,g.bounds.depth])
> }
> 

Oh MAN! Sorry for the incredibly late reply on this. Thank you! Its crazy that sketchup doesnt have a bult in feature to do BOM with bubble callouts etc.

Is there a feature that automatically will label all my groups/components? I have looked and looked. See attachment for example.

OK, now we are in business, thank you thank you, this is exactly what I need.

Thanks! It works seemlessly for the basement and 2nd floor then it coppies and moves things on the 1st floor. I have tried everything that I can think of. I have no idea what is causing this and was wondering if it was something simple. I attached the 1st floor if you get a minute. Thanks for everything.

How would you expect SketchUp or an extension to identify the geometry that needs to be included in the group? What would you do, select the edges and faces that need to be grouped?

The geometry is all named by instance and the first "wallxxx" of the name is how I would prefer it to be grouped. I could do a search for wall1 then group all that then on and on but would take a very long time.

We are so close! It seems to be confusing wall 1 with wall 1xx or wall 1x. or wall 4 with wall 4x etc.

The error I get is something like the following

wall1
wall100
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method name=' for nil:NilClass> <main>:12:in block in <main>'
<main>:8:in each' <main>:8:in <main>'
SketchUp:1:in `eval'

I attached the entire house this time.

Thanks!
