No. I used Eagle by CADsoft. I already had it as I occasionally need to make real PCBs. There was one element that had to be repeated 24 times at intervals of 15 degrees of rotation (I'd include a pic but I can't figure out how to attach or embed, only link, and it's not online). That's just not something you ever need to do in designing a PCB, hence the headache. Obviously a 5 second operation in SU, but with no way to get the design out in Gerber format, I just had to suck it up and carefully tweak each placement in Eagle. Took about an hour to figure out how to do it, then another hour to actually do it. Would've taken much longer for someone to write a script, plus some dough. If this was something I was going to need to do regularly, that would be another thing, but it was strictly a one-off requirement. Thanks again for your looking into it, though.

Another thing to do would be also interesting can recursively set all groups and components to "scale definition."

Hi ThomThom,

We imported a 100mb model from ARCHICAD into SU (in fbx format). This goes slow but it works.

The problem is the same material gives different uvw_sizes on my components. The same brick material is 1 cm on a component while it's neigbour component has bricks of 20 cm ?!?.

Is there a way to reset all components to the same scale, so my bricks are uniform on all objects/ components? (like reset xform in 3dsmax)

Thanks for all the usefull work!

I set keyboard shortcuts for all the plugins I use.

Since this script takes a long time to complete their tasks in some files, I get confused sometimes I use the shortcuts, and inadvertently I press the shortcut for this plugin. You could insert an option to be given a warning to accept or not if we want to do cleaning?

Another interesting option is the possibility of inserting a percentage level where materials are not identical, but similar would be united into one.

It's possible to rename all the materials in words capitalized?
If we could make a clean sweep in the names would also help.
Why? Try it:

Yes, it's definitely a problem when the Outliner is openand the transformation is interactive and operates on components that exist in several instances (like Stretch).
I think this was already signaled and I don't know too much what can be done about it.

This can be a problem. But not exactly in this situation.

The problem seems to be that we can not have a large and deep hierarchy of objects in outliner.

Try the shared model and see how the model is organized in outliner.

This tool you did are really interesting. But I was wrong about the reason why I ask for this plugin. The problem was that when I render a scene in V-ray, everything was dark. I rendering from far away and I see that I had a huge object involving the whole scene. I thought it was a hidden object that this tool could make me find out. But this was not the problem. The problem, as I discovered later, was on "scale definition."
The plugin for V-ray for some reason did not translate correctly the object as I seen in the scene, but according to the scale of the original object.
Your plugin could also automatically define all the objects as "scale definition" as we see in the scene???

I tested this script in the the scene I'm working on, and could not see any results, because the scene I'm working on is very large and took too long time, so I had to kill the sketchup. Another thing I think will be great is the possibility of being able to choose what kind of object it takes from the "hidden world" and brings to our reality.

Thank you TIG.

Plugins should have some kind of possibility to cancel its activities, because sometimes they take too long time to finish his task, and we have no time to wait for their tasks be completed. Or maybe they can provide some warning on how long time it will take their job. It is very sad to have to kill sketchup and lose precious work.

It would be possible to do so only for components and groups that are within other components and groups?

Thank you for your help.

It would be possible to create a plugin that freeze layers of components, and materials and groups in the hidden layers, making "Make Unique" in each component, something like time machine for layers? All this with just a few keyboard shortcuts?

That would be interesting when we are modeling organic stuff and want to keep a history of these objects as backup. Or wanting to keep several lines of possibility models of architecture.

It is also interesting when we do a lot of modifications that alter an object "A", but then we do other profound changes in other objects "B", "C", or "D", for example, and then we change your mind about the object "A". We want object A back as it was before changing objects "B", "C", "D". However, if we press keys Control Z, we will lose changes to objects "B", "C" and "D".

Can you understand me?

It would be possible to create a plugin that would take all the groups, components, faces and edges to hide? Because sometimes some components are hidden inside other that are not hide.

And to discover the secret hiding place takes a long time.

Is not needed to assign on "Save file"? And the option "Batch render"?

In sketchup, make the number of scenes what you need to render.

First. In Menu: View->Animation->settings

Disable Scene transitions and put scene delay = 1

Second. In V-ray->options->Output

Check the animation On

Last. Go to dinner.

Metric options is very interesting to me... Thanks....

If it were possible to create and edit a list of original names and desired names for each plugin that would be interesting. That along with the original location and desired location can be great.

not working to me....

I was wondering if it would be possible to change this plugin to control the automatic start of any other plugins such as the 1001 bit tools, or some other little tools that we don't use often. That would make the start Sketchup faster. So by default, would start with the Sketchup few essential plugins.

It's Amazing!!!

I am sorry having traded the place where it I should respond.
Please note the presentation that I have made in the attached file. That's exactly what I need. In some cases, I do not use handles in aluminum bar. I use ordinary handles. So I do not pull over 3cm from top face to bottom. In some cases, I use different spaces for 0.5cm, as requested by the woodworker or architect that I work. Thank you for your attention.

One day I will no more bore you, because I'm trying to learn Ruby Script. Thanks.
