Thanks for the answer.
I didn't know about JF Moveit, that's a good start! too bad ther is no scale parameter
with that it could make part of the job.
Let's wait and see...

Hi jewellers, something we really miss in Sketchup is a transform dialog for components and groups.
I remember Transformation Matrix by Thomthom but it is very mysterious and hard to deal with for noobs.
Do you think that it is diffucult to write a proper transformations dialog box in Ruby?
Best regards

IN FRENCH ONLY SORRY:

Is it possible, via ruby, to select all edges within a selection cycling through hierarchy (groups, components, nested groups etc...)?
My final goal is to paint them with the material of my choice.
Thanks in advance Ruby masters!

Hello Jolran,
sorry if I disturbed you.
I know nothing about coding, I'm just an everyday Sketchup user.
I think that you guys coders and developpers are like shamans dealing with something that is like magic for me.
When I'm working on something I always want to know if others are also digging in the same direction and I try to get in touch with them to exchange thoughts and ideas.
This guy, Eric, is explaining the problems he meets trying to achieve his script sequencer, I just thought it would help you. But everyone has its own way and some prefer staying focused on their own stuff.
Please continue your own way, we are thousands Sketchup user behind you!

Hi guys,
you should take a look at the work of Eric Cheung:

"graphical relationship script sequencer on Sketchup: current progress 3"

I Hope that it will help you

You're right TIG,
to be honest I am always too in a hurry on one hand and too lazy on the other hand to put the texts on the right layer...
I will follow your advice.
Many thanks for the prompt answer and for what you bring to the community!

Hello jewellers,
do you think it is possible?
I use a lot of 2d texts and annotations while working in plan view, but I want to hide them automatically when I orbit and switch from parallel projection to perspective...
Thanks in advance

Domo aligatou gozaimasu tak2hata ruby sensei!

Excellent! thank you dear Ruby Master!

Excellent, I love this house.
Any chance that you share this model, I would be happy to push it further!

Thank you very much!
It works now!

Ah OK, do you think that it is possible to change the code to assume the bonding box center origin?

UPDATE: with scale_reinit.rb the components go back to their original sclae and orientation but they are moved away from their original poisition...
even if the component's axes are right in the middle of the object

Thank you sdmitch, I downloaded it and installed it but it appears that if the components have been modified by CHris fullmer's plugin "Scale and rotate multiple" it doesn't work.
It works well if components have been modified with Sketchup's native scale tool...
???
If I use scale_reinit.rb

it works even with components modified with CHris fullmer's plugin "Scale and rotate multiple"
but of course the components come back to their original orientation...
I do not care about orientations issues in today's case, but I just wanted to inform you, thank you again!

If I select only one component, I can reset scale with right click, If I select two components, this option disappear...
Maybe is it possible to do that with code?

Megaupload is dead!
Could you please reupload?

Hey guys have you seen this?

Lookd really interesting... if anyone has some more informations...

Thank you SANTIG CLAUS

Thank you for your response
I think I understanded 90% (my english is not perfect)
My thought: I think majority of people will use it to check and report surfaces of different rooms in a building.
I mean if it is not for presentation purpose you don't really care about changing text but being able to select a bunch of rooms and tag them with a click could be really amazing!
Anazing, once again you bring Sketchup a step forward!
