@Rich-O-Brien said in Does Sketchucation Tools show only SketchUp 8 plugins?:

No, it does not

Thank you !

Would this plugin show only extensions that would work with my old version of Sketchup 8 ?

All my programs are on my C:drive.

Created / saved files go to a folder on a larger D:drive.

Old habit I guess.

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks for that explanation Rich.

@Rich-O-Brien said in Components do not save:

Components live within a file unless explicitly saved to a dedicated location.

Creating a component within a file does not automatically add them to an external library.

Uhhh ... makes sense, and I surely missed it.

Thank you !!!

Yesterday I made a few components, and they appeared in the components list. I could drag them into the drawing.

Today ... no where to be found on my machine.
The folder I had created and was saving to is empty.

Tried making a few today on a new file.
Results are the same, they show up in component list when created ... I can bring them into the drawing, but they are not being saved to the folder.

Help !

@Dave-R said in Component confusion:

@danna Look at the orientation of the axes in my screenshot.

Give the component gluing in the Create Component panel.

I had tried glue vertical before, but was having trouble setting correct axis.

Thanks ... working now.

@Dave-R said in Component confusion:

I've set the axes so the component's origin falls on the vertical face of the box.

Well, spinning my wheels again.

Do not see or understand how you did that.

@Dave-R Thanks .... this it what I/m looking for.

Not quite sure about setting the correct axis, but will try and come back if I can't get it.

Thanks

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks for the reply and animation.

I do know how to rotate an object but was looking for it to be in correct direction when I bring it in.
