I got what I wanted, but I had to do a python script to get what I wanted. Chatgpt helped me a lot. See the zip file attached in the link. There are the scripts, the images downloaded from the Adobe Color website, and an skp file with the results of everything I wanted.

You could change the code to rename the definition name?

With the code below the definition name is created.

model = Sketchup.active_model ents = model.active_entities groups = ents.grep(Sketchup;;Group) components = ents.grep(Sketchup;;ComponentInstance) num = 0 groups.each do |group| group.name = nil.to_s end groups.each do |group| if group.name == nil.to_s num=0 end groups.each do |g| if group.layer.name == g.layer.name if g.name == nil.to_s num+=1 bytenum = num.to_s.length if bytenum == 1 zeros = "00" end if bytenum == 2 zeros = "0" end if bytenum >= 3 zeros = nil.to_s end g.name = group.layer.name.concat(" - #{zeros}#{num}") end end end end components.each do |component| component.name = nil.to_s end components.each do |component| if component.name == nil.to_s num=0 end components.each do |c| if component.layer.name == c.layer.name if c.name == nil.to_s num+=1 bytenum = num.to_s.length if bytenum == 1 zeros = "00" end if bytenum == 2 zeros = "0" end if bytenum >= 3 zeros = nil.to_s end #c.name = component.layer.name.concat(" - #{zeros}#{num}") c.definition.name = component.layer.name.concat(" - #{zeros}#{num}") end end end end

The reason I asked this plugin is because I'm trying to use the plugin "Solid Quantify by TAK2HATA". It's a wonderful plugin, and I need something to easily modify the names of components. Note the attachment files.

Will check it out indeed.

No, I mean it can make accurate budgets... I was referring to the OP.

Will be very coll if we can define some same configurations in sketchup pure materials by layer for each object.

Like this?

I use it everyday 😉

Hi, not familiar with the plugin you mentioned but you might want to check [Re]Scene which also is capable of renaming all your scenes.

Cheers!

Maybe this one could help? Never tried it though, so I don't know if it does exactly what you want.

Andy, are you still happy with the workflow in Blender?

I haven't quite made the jump to production work in Blender. I've been trying out some higher-poly models to see how well the import works. The biggest issue with workflow right now is where I have a lot of component instances (like a restaurant with furniture for example) it all comes in as one huge model. You can make instances in Blender, so I could bring in one component of each thing and make duplicates in Blender - but, you know - doesn't seem like the best workflow. There's also proxy, which is sweet, but I've only brushed the surface yet.

Otherwise, I'm still just learning the ins and outs of Blender. I really love the program, but it's also very deep. I'm also trying to figure out vray settings (using the standalone.) I've been trying to get my renders to look the same as out of vfsu, but it's surprisingly difficult to find all the right settings to switch. GI is handled very differently (dome light), so there's not just the simple switch that we have in vfsu. Artificially lit spaces are much more easy to replicate. I also just don't have a whole lot of time to devote, as I've been booked pretty solid lately. It's a good thing, but I just don't have as much time to play 😛

My idea with this plugin would be able to show in my renderings for my clients the dimensions of the furniture and objects that would be created by woodworkers and other professionals.
Unrelated to create objects with three clicks ... or sizing objects by XYZ.

Ok, I understand. So let's dream. See the "EXEMPLO".

exemplo.skp

Yea, I wish we could do that. I've been trying to lobby for a way to have a responsive progressbar and cancel button in SU. Still hoping for it.

Many hours has been spend by good plugin authors trying to find a good solution for this. But when it comes to it, it's something that needs to be built into SU in order to make the UI responsive.

You could try the "Archiver" plugin that TIG produces, as I believe that it does something similar to what you're describing. I've never gotten it to work quite right, but then I haven't really invested much time into actually learning how to use it properly.

Hope that helps,

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.

I think Bagatelo's point is to identify which keys aren't not yet assigned as shortcuts?

Yes, there are some errors in that table. I'm working on a new version. Wait a few days.

TIG I'm so grateful for your help.
But if I like to complete clean old names, and serialize by numbers?

Thanks again. This is great to me.

After that it's only export to Google Sketchup, that objects do not come all messed up.

Thanks..

Sorry, but a question, in wich format do you export model please ?

Thanks, best regards

Call me little 'youngling'. I have done some modification in cleanup plugin.
