I wasn't saving my file so layout could not write the path.

I guess that would be a reason for there to be no path.

Glad you got it sorted.

Hi Tig! I thought about that.. But sadly the latter releases have some conflicts with a plugin the firm developed so for now we are forced to stick to the release which allows it to work properly.

Hi Orbital! Yes, still experiencing,
here are the files! Will you have a look at them?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot Rich!
..I am reporting because it was different since not a long time ago!
They must have changed a bit somewhere, unconscius that they were causing this (little) drawback.
I was wondering if the behaviour could be switched back 😄

Hi Hal! Any news about this small issue?

Fixed!

Update your FlexTools / ComponentFinder to the latest version 😉

Thanks a lot for you quick answer!
I'll try and let you guys know! Thanks!

*** EDIT ***
That fixed the issue! Thanks again!

Thanks Pibuz! 😄

Actually I could have used this myself the other day too... but we haven't gotten to adding this feature yet.

It is though way on the top of our list of features to add to ComponentFinder...

It is already in the API... e.g.

Sketchup.active_model.definitions.find_all{|d| !d.group? && !d.image? }.each{|d| d.save_thumbnail("#{d.name}.png") }

This basic code saves the components' SKP files into your default-folder, as set up in SketchUp's Preferences - probably your 'Documents' folder...
Obviously you can expand this basic code quite a lot...

GREAT! thanks to faust I found a later modified version which adds an entry just to make what I'm looking for!!!

I'm attaching it, if anybody needs.
This plugin adds a "rotation90z" entry in the extensions menu.

Thanks guys!

rot90_origin.rb

Glad to know!
Sure I'll help find other bugs (if there are any!).

Coll new features you added! Can't wait to test them!

Hi Hal! I didn't want to make another topic so I'll post in this one slightly changing the focus.

Is there any possibility we can visualiza the component's "Description" in the CF preview? Could be useful to give some preliminary info to the user without having to actually load the component in the current work file.

Just an idea!

I don't know how I could have missed that....
Thank you box!

** EDIT **
Actually, pressing the B for bucket actually re-opens the materials window, which is exactly what slows me down, having a vast number of materials to be loaded. IS there a way to jump directly to the eyedropper without opening the materials window?

Hi again!
another silly question: is there any way a plugin could select all the dynamic components which share the exact same attribute selections as the selected one?

Could be very useful.

A searched a lot but could not find any in the internet..

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Strangely, layout shows no issues. At all.

Hi glro! Thanks for you reply!
..unfortunately this solution doesn't fit my needs: I'm working with medium-complexity dynamic components and I was wondering if there was some tool capable not to export some of their INNER object I may actually want to make present or not.
Say: you have a door and you can choose whether to have a door handle or not. In case you choose not to have it, I'd like to make it invisible (and I can do it with DC attributes) and I'd like not to export it in my components report.

Do you understand what I mean?

Tested dibac and removed it after an hour of testing

too complex working only in 2d initially. does not easily allow for change limited elements or components, have to work to build up your own.

My current preference is for LSS Arch Lite
LSS Arch Lite by Kirill B

Combined with LSS Zone it provides flexible tools for sketch design and design development
before leaping into one's program of choice for contract documentation.

A new work!

change the scene's order: put the relevant ones at the beginning. Additionally add some constant prefix (i.e. OK).
But generally I agree with you, something similar to Firefox would be nice (tabs colors and folders 🎉 ).
