I change the plugin to show menus in "Plugins" Menu. Now we can set keyboard keys, is very useful to me.

I thought about a function of "smart drop" for all of the possible directions of the axis, like this, the aligned objects if they would not fix in the most distant part of the object of alignment reference, but they would collide in the surface. Look image example. It would be as the plugin drop, but it would work in all possible directions by axes(9 possibilities, or 6, if we not consider middle). Maybe some keys like SHIFT can change this behavior.

jsAlign.zip

Thanks, it works well. But if I want to move base of object to zero on Z axes? Thanks anyway.

Is there possible to make change on this script to only move to origin axes X and Y, not Z?

color axes change in the lie image

Eureka!!!!!!!!!!
I found !!!!!
Very useful

I don't remember where I download this plugin, but I change to rotate 45 instead 90 degres. I set keyboard keys to this plugin, it's very useful.

rot45.rb

Because at this time, I'm importing things from 3dsMAX to Sketchup, and all subobjects are components, always. I don't like that, I like groups for subobjects, because it doesn't pollute the components browser.

Does exist some plugin that just transforms components in groups and groups in components?

Please, look inside my models, that I have been imported from 3dsMAX to Sketchup. Please, notice axes location in each model.

I think you can incorporate de code from "remove materials" inside the script "Cleanup". You can give option, as you wish.

Please analize the axes in each object in the illustration.
I think we have 5 or 6 possibilities axes configuration.

Thanks TOMTOM for this plugin. I am in the moment exporting from the 3dsMAX
the models that can be free download of the site http://www.bebitalia.it and creating my
library of components.
Please consider the possibility to include these intens in your plugin:

1. Remove all materials of the object, not leaving any material in the scene. I have implication with materials, as you already noticed. I know you already have tool to do this, but is more sexy if we can do that in one time.

2. To align the red and green axes in the center of the object, in the lower part of the object.

3. To run the tool "LOOSE GEOMETRY TO GROUPS" inside of each object, and later to explode each object, just leaving the groups generated by the tool "LOOSE GEOMETRY TO GROUPS." http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=16154

Thanks anyway

Ok, I understand. Each side has their advantages and disadvantages.
I will post here in this topic some ideas that I have growing i my mind about your plugins.

1. Possibility to create and to save presets of tools. Possibility to export and import these presets.
2. Possibility to see in real time the alterations in the controls of the tool. It would be as the controls of tools of the photoshop, that allow to see in real time which will be the result of the taken action.
3. Possibility to edit the created objects.
4. I can translate your plugin to portuguese.
5. Possibilities to create grooves in angles, not just in the horizontal. Sometimes that I need to create Grooves in the vertical. Sometimes I need to create grooves in X.

For now is enough. Cheers

Thanks TIG, I already know this script, is very useful, but...

I think a script with check boxes (with all materials in the scene) to chose what material I say goodbye.

And maybe with possibility to add text in the checked materials - this time, not to delete, but for rename.

I need this because I render my scenes with Vray, and is boring to configure all materials in the scene. Every time I organizing my components library, this plugin can be very, very, very useful.

In another words, I need a scrit for chose and delete many materials in one time.

Someone can code a script for delete or change a range of materials, because in my workflow, I import so many components, and almost all the time, I don't need all the materials within the components.

Another thing that I need, is a plugin to rename or include string in the base name of the all materials, or maybe select range of materials. If I can, I write this plugins, but I don't understand ruby. Now I'm reading ruby books. Please!!!

I don't know the way of the professional users' of Sketchup around the world works, but in my case, I work with precise units, with certain patterns that never change, in although the forms can change. I know that technology BIM could be implemented inside of Sketchup. I see windows opening a hole automatically in the wall when inserting the component window. I see kitchen closets that turn off drawers when inserting in the place equipments as ovens or dishewasher.

Is possible to insert components of the library through script or plugin?

Something that I think it would be fantastic in the sketchup it would be the possibility to record macros or actions, like Photoshop ou Microsoft Excell.
Please watch those videos to understand how I think:

The use of their tools could be increased if they opened a type of API of their tools, not opening the code of their scripts. They could make more money if they documented the use of their tools by another scripts.

What do I have in mind? I have a lot of things. Use your imagination.

Is it possible to access and to use the tools of great Dale Martens for other scripts, enlarging Google Sketchup's API or something like this?

Is it possible to access and to use the tools of great GOHCH for other scripts, enlarging Google Sketchup's API or something like this?

Is it possible to access and to use the tools of great FREEDO for other scripts, enlarging Google Sketchup's API or something like this?

If can be possible to scaleup or scaledown the profiles stored on the library....
And to create and set layer by profile name...
And... if the plugin can set material for profile, maybe this data can be stored on profiles.
this maybe make me smile.
