Thank you, TIG.
At the moment it works smoothly. But chances are high that tomorrow it will slow down again.

@Einstein: If you mean by nickname your username, it is not possible to change it as it is the unique identifyer of your account. It is possible to register a new account with a new username. It is also possible to erase the account with the current username but it is not possible to change a username.

I'll look into the possibility of increasing image upload size and will inform you about the result.

Looks I didn't learn your plugin well enough. Thank you.

For sub-components elswhere in the model - maybe a unique component would be created then?

This one looks nice ^^

Right, this is how it works now. Toggling subdivision is quite fast with SubD, however it could be even faster if assigning a shortcut was possible. By the way, I am surprised I can't see "toggle subdivision on/off" in Prefs-Shortcuts list. Is this just my machine? I already saw some missing features in that list.

Take note of the name of the menu item.

No - you where right to report this. It's a miss from my side. I don't think I personally adjusted VCB input before committing the initial mouse clicks. But my aim for my custom tools is to be similar and familiar with how SketchUp's native tool works.

(Once you start diving into custom tools you really start to appreciate how complex the native tools are - and how much attention to details has been done.)

Not sure I understand how it would work.
Let's say you have three grouped boxes that are made into a group.
What would be shown since the "parent" only is a group with subgrouped geometry inside?
The parent doesn't contain any geometry.

I imagine that if one group with one of the boxes is active, the other grouped boxes (inactive) would be shown as well, because they're also children of the big group that contains all three boxes. Anything in the model that's out of the parent group, would be hidden.

I think such feature could be helpful in many situations with complex models where groups contain grouped groups etc.

Assuming the extensions were installed correctly and they are shown as active in Preferences>Extensions, you should be able to turn on their toolbars in View>Toolbars. I don't use the Smustard Weld extension but just installed it to check that the toolbar shows in SU2016 and it does show up just fine.

How did you install these extensions and where did you install them?

Did you look in the right place in the list of toolbars? Eneroth 3D Rotate shows up as 3D Rotate and Smustard Weld shows up as Smustard.
