The file structure is messed up in the zip file. You want this folder:
Flattery-1.0\Flattery\flattery and the flattery.rb file. And you can delete any .svn folder. There is a .svn folder in the final flattery folder. That's why you see those green and red circler revision icons.

Of course, "save as"! Such a simple resolution. I do it all the time, I can't believe it never occurred to me to try it. Thanks again for a great forum.

Just downloaded Zotero. What a terrific add-on. Thanks for the recommend. It's exactly what I wanted.

Hi Thanks for the explanations. However in my experimentation with the answers, unsticking the line seemed to work with this process: Selected the line > selected the move/copy tool > selected the end point of the line with it > then pressed the control key to move/copy. Pressing the move/copy tool while pressing control key only kept the stickiness. I have version 7.1 Does this process seem correct? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Select the Line and then Move press Ctrl [don't hold it down], you should get an extra "+" sign on the cursor [press Ctrl again the + goes...] - this shows it's in Copy mode. Pick a point and the copy of the line is moved to where you next pick. If desired Erase the original Line.

Alternatively Select the Line and Group it, Move if [no copying this time] and put it where you want - You need to Explode its Group when you're finished...

You can 'Move' several things at once using these techniques...

Ok I get the good position with a translate:
definition.instances.each do |instance| originBefore = instance.transformation.origin instance.transform! inv tr = instance.transformation vectorTranslate = originBefore - instance.transformation.origin translate = Geom::Transformation.translation(vectorTranslate) instance.transform!(translate) end

but when the axes changes (y axes become z axis for exemple) the scale are not good and switch...
I try to get the model.edit_transform , manualy I can get it but with the API it's always the same problem : I can't do the right click Component edit...
Any Idea to get the local axes?

yes they are usable

2)In the component diolog box push details and open or create a local collection.

I hope you have SU 7.1,it actually has a back button 🤣

Its pretty heavy going, but its also worth reading/browsing the SU users manual. Theres loads of stuff in there about everything to do with SU, so its good as a reference if nothing else.
