A very nice one. Thanks!
Is it possible to link the themes with scenes? The background is to use the functionality in Layout.

Hi Chrisik,

Please open the Ruby Console: Window > Ruby Console
Are you getting any messages there when you try to open a folder?

Yoni

No, i don't get any messages.

i've installed component finder along with the other flextools and activated it. Then i want to add a folder, the windows explorer opens and i can select one but then nothing happens - the component finder window keeps blanc and no components are displayed. i've tried other folders with sketchup models and i also reinstalled the plugin but it doesn't work. i use windows 10/1803 sketchup pro 2018.

Thank you for this great plugin.
Is it possible to store the links inside a component, so that the links aren't lost when the component is inserted to a new file? This would be a very handy feature.

Is it possible to write a plugin that only shows the component description of a selected component, maybe using with a shortcut, so you don't have to go to the component window, then InModel, search the component ...?

YES. Thank you very much. This is a big timesaver for me.

Is there a plugin out there that can quickly measure the distance of the midpoints of two selected groups and/or components in all 3 dimensions and direct distance. Or is somebody out there that can write this little plugin? thanks.

ok. it works. While installing the windows "Unable to install this Extension..." still pops up but the plugin works anyway. Many thanks for your changes.

Sorry but i can't install the plugin. After i select "install extension..." in the system preferences menu and select the plugin, a window pops up: "Unable to install this Extension. Sketchup was unable to install the Extension you have chosen for some unknown reason. Consult your Extension's documentation for additional help." ?

Thank you very much for this plugin, I use it very often.
Is it possible to set the current scene name automatically as the default layer name when you create a new layser? Which modifications to the rb file have to be made?

Same here.

ok, i've had started Sketchup with administrative rights. Without admin rights drag and drop works also for me.

Drag and Drop of a picture or a sketchup file from the windows explorer to SU2013 doesn't work anymore. With Sketchup 8 it works fine. Did i miss something?

thank you TIG.
works fine.

yes it works for components but not for groups.
could the script be modified to work also for groups?

hello,
is this possible: select several named group/components, e.g. group "A" and group "B", run the (wanted) ruby, enter a prefix e.g. "1_", and the group/components an renamed in "1_A" and "1_B" an so on.
thanks in advance.
