keyon Check your use of the scale tool. As long there is no geometry perpendicular to the scale direction like you would encounter scaling the rail of a frame where the stile width will then change ( one reason for Fredos scale tool stretch function). You can make a cutting plane then use the move tool but then the 2x will become a unique component unless you what all to change. Component scaling does not change the component definition so it is not an edit operation and the others in you model will not change . For a simple 2x the bevel will stay the same unless your scaling across axis? Pay attention to the handels your using.

I just did a blog post about this very subject on the weekend. Moving stuff in sketchUp really isn't all that hard when you do it right.

If you had read the script's instructions carefully [first page in its thread] you might have seen that align_2d appears in the Tools menu not the Plugins menu as you 'assumed'... and it is in fact designed to be used with the right-click context-menu when you have suitable objects selected... @unknownuser said: Make a selection (other objects than groups or components are ignored) Select " Align 2D" in the context menu or in the Tools menu Click 2 points that define a line for the alignment. A construction line is temporarily drawn and a dialog box is displayed Choose your options: horizontally align all groups/components along X axis at the intersection with the cline vertically align all groups/components along Y axis at the intersection with the cline perpendicularly align all groups/components along a perpendicular virtual line at the intersection with the cline. Other options self-explanatory

I wonder if anything has changed in the intervening 14 years since that post was made.

If you could upload a video sample that might help. If I need a good quality movie, I like to switch from avi to .png or .jpg and it will export a series of sequential images. I export them at 2 times the size I actually want the video. Then I shrink them all in photoshop using a batch command. Then I put them together using Adobe Premiere, but other software does it too. But a small clip of your video might answer some questions too. Chris
