Tig, ok this did the trick! THX!

Problem: I have lots of groups. I Want to select them. Execute a ruby plug and the Axis/Origing of everygroup is moved to a random location.

I tried setting transformation.axes but this only tranforms everything inside the group leaving the Axis / Origing to its original position. I found many Similar question and problems but its realy misty on how to do this correct,clean and fast!

Thx in advance guys.

Tig, alltough it did not yet what i wanted, thx again you are very helpfull!

Chris, This was exactly what i was looking for. Big Thx!

Tig: thx for your big explanation. Unfortunatly I allready know this info.

Maybe i clearify.

I allready know what i can do with the selection tool. Also doing like hundreds of planks manualy is a no go.

I like to make a tool in RUBY. Hence post in developers forum. Tool must work like this:

• I go into my planks group.
• I select all. Faces, Edges, ...
• Then i execute the tool.
• The tool detects all face and edges per object inside. (similar to quad tool grow selection on objects)
• The tool creates a group for ecery serperate object he found in the selected face. Edges.

Hopefully this explanes the problem better.

I could use the function of the Quadtools and build a tool myself, but there are maybe tools around that do just this. Or there are better ways to select a full objects inside a group.

Hopefully it is explained better

Problem: I have 1 group with multiple objects(planks in my case) inside. Now i'd like to create groups for every object recursivly. I need to detect all connected faces and then group. Take another face, detect object and group.. till done.

I found the grow selection in quadtools but this is user action based. and grows not entire object directly.

I dont know if there is a all ready a tool available to do just what i like to do?

Thx for any help it would save me lots of time.

Thx Dan for the links. After a search of 15 minut I tend to ask someone.

Thomthom: I see what you mean. Thx!

Hi all,

First post on this great resource!

I have the following problem. I created a component. I created a script loads the component and creates an instance and does scale and translate. So far so good. But now if i wanna ad a second instance based on user input. I look if the componentdefinition is there, create a second instance and scale en translate it.But looks like the size is used of the first instance. everyting is tranforming badly. So my question: How can i be sure that i use the origingal scale of the component i load and aply good scale over and over again.

Grt,

M
