Try Eneroth Component Replacer

how about scaling the group?, start then enter the new dimension and units, or match the inference

have you tested it with all the plugins disabled?

to create a DC hole that can be copied, one need to double wrap the hole in a cutting DC. Start with the first cutting component as you uploaded add a line, make both a cutting component, enter and delete line. Then the wrapped hole will cut as copied within the outer cutting face

save as version 7

the wall component, although has a nested group, this group has no changing attributes. You will find any one level DC will not be made unique by SU operations unless you do, it is the nested changes that cause this. So one designs to take advantage of the differences. I make a complicated DC with various nesting able to be simplified via explode, outer shell to a one level component (which can be replaced with its original or another), so copies remain same, this has added advantages for material reports, file size, intellectual protection if shared, material painting....

Hi

You could add a dimension within the component aligned with the face. Dimensions can be tweaked via the window/model info menu, select dimensions.

If you create a board component then you can scale to any other size by entering the measure followed by the units

To create a board where the material is not stretched after scaling, right click an make unique, and then right click and scale definition

Further more one can add a tag in the dimension followed by <> this will create a named item followed by the dimension

tagged with board...

What should the distance be from the end of the rebar to edge of the slab?

50mm or 2 inch

Outline the lace structure, push out 25mm, then add photo texture of the lace

OR(logicalValue1,logicalValue2,...logicalValueN)

so quite likely

=IF(or(Size = "King", Size = "Super King"),200,190)

I believe that he is referring to an inserted excel table, and changing the cell reference to suit. I guess it is a possible workflow to excess stored data

See previous post "Revit-like Adaptive Component"

as a guide

a quick fix

lift DC within this file

right click the component, then from the menu select make unique if there are other components at a different scale, and then select scale definition

all you you need to do is delete the face at the cutter within the component

find needs to return a value, a position. so if if there is no match it fails. Since there is no error catch procedure, it is not possible to
IF(find("SINGLE",OPENING!TYPE)>0,FALSE,TRUE) unless "SINGLE" exists, can only be true or an error

in sketchup window/model info/units change the precision, save and update the layout model

this is a DC text changer to reflect the first five numbers or period of lenX, a bit involved, and could be fine tuned to only copy a digit if it exists more than once. However it depends on how the machining reacts to invisible entities.
try it and let us know if its worth pursuing

auto label.skp

Hi John,

Would a dimension in line with the face (edited via window/model info / dimension) work?
example attached

Philip

use dimensions.skp

another idea

export the layout as a dwg, open in a free or economical dwg program like draftsight, make one line entity a polyline, use command join and select the others to form the area. Area calculations done in properties.

Or (probably easier) one can transfer the required lines from paper space to model space, then save, import into sketchup, and change them to include surface (redraw a line) then use smart labels

Most likely the parts will be nested and hard to figure using the definition, so I would

1. create DC and use the name to create a suitable identity and size.

2, use the onclick alert(name) to help identify the sizes/items in the model

3.create a quantity report based on name and quantity in the report writer, save to model (eventually make this file the working template)

4 have this sent to excel and use a VBA routine or formulas to tidy it up, sum like sizes

5, send model to layout, use smart labels to denote parts

6, with 2017, import the table, or a image if <2017

attached a quick example

sheets.skp

sheets.layout
